These are mostly Cheyenne bows, but the images are not great. If I can remember who I got these from, I will see if I can bet some better copies.  CC

Here is a sampling of bows from various places. Some of these are sinew backed and some are not.   CC

Sorry takintazipa I can't assist you with black ash or any other of the woods you had in mind. Over here it's mainly white ash and some green ash. Nice bows by the way.

Send tipi stuff a pm. Lots of original pictures and his recreations as well. Self and sinew backed both. Lots of other southern Cheyenne stuff as well.
