Good looking bow John,I am working on an Ash bow right now,hope it turns out that good.
What are the dimensions ,with and length.I need a 29 in. draw on mine,long armed Yankee.

So I left it 68 t-t and 66 n-n.I haven't built an ash bow in a long time.The last couple I think had some dry rot in them,anyway they blew.

Very well done on that one ,I am sure he loves it.
Hope to see it up close in May.

Pappy

Hey Pappy, I haven't given it to him yet ! I hope it shoots good for him.
The bow is 68 ttt 66 ntn 1 5/8 @ fades to mid limb then tapers to 1/2 @ tips.

I hope you get to see it in May too !
