Birch?? Never heard of birch being used as a historic EWB material. Can you post info from your source on birch EWBs?

bootboy:
Now that im somewhat more  familliar with bow making and  history, i have to say the same as you all, which was why i asked the quetioned to begin with. While I was growing up anytime someone spoke of longbows, or robin hood or the english warbows they exclusively spoke of them being  "good english oak" or "made from solid oak"

but i cant see oak holding up to warbow weights, most of the oak i have used breaks at about 70lbs maybe a little more
