It’s what I had my most successful bow build with, morphy helped me learn via texts. Very pretty, are you using green timber or pre dryed stuff??

All my bows have been red oak because that is what I can get at home depot.
We have a specie of Robinia and rocky mtn juniper growing here. I would like to try them both, but the forest rangers take their job quite seriously here, so I buy boards.

I've always wanted to try the board bow, but haven't braved it yet. Nice tiller on that! @Mersa How did you find a piece that was straight enough? All the black locust I've seen are squat and gnarled trees.

Well I’m lucky enough to be a Arborist, so I cut trees , whenever I find a suitable staff I make sure I put it aside. A while ago we removed approximately 20 robinias, I was able to obtain a few somewhat straight staffs, I actually have 4 growing outside my new rental, I’ve offered to prune them , there may be one or 2 extra branches that might need to come down, if you catch my drift.
