Apple Flatbow 54# @ 27"
Robert Pougnier:
Maybe those are some good candidates?
I definitely think it's worth setting any likely staves or billets aside and making some bows from them. There are so many apple and crabapple hybrids there's got to be a good range of density and design possibilities! The wood was really fine grained and pleasant to work. And well, its' apple and I love apples! :NN

Selfbowman:
I may have some apple staves coming my way. Is Apple just not good in tension? If so would bamboo on the back be to much tension? Maybe gemsbok horn on the back? What is the density on Apple wood?
WhistlingBadger:
That's a great looking bow. I have always wanted to try crab apple wood--we have a lot of it around here. I wonder how it would be sinew backed.
Will B:
I really like every aspect of this bow. I’d love to try apple some day. Very beautiful color and I bet it’s a nice shooting bow with that tiller. Thanks for sharing your work.
