Alright, that does it![>:] I'm going to go get a piece of wood and get to work. I've been thinking it's time to make another and you just pushed me over the edge, Michigan.
Darn nice bow ya got there!
Yep, hickory is really good for a beginning bowyer. It'll let you get by with a lot of mistakes. Yew, mulberry, oak (red is okay but white's better), ash, yellow locust, pecan, walnut and maple all make good bows.
Any of the above you listed would be ok for a self bow Arthur? The main wood I have is Red Oak, Ash, Elm, Maple, Pine. Whats the best of what I mentioned and why? Thanks Art!!
