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.
