Spotted Dog:
How do you cut and set them on the ends of the bow limbs ?
I think I will try an all wood bow first. Maple limbs, hickory siyahs
and rawhide back.  Maybe osage siyahs and handle.

Pat B:
You'll want to use strong, light weight wood for the siyahs

Spotted Dog:
Will hickory work ?  I need to find a pattern too.

Pat B:
Hickory will work but maple might be better. Osage is too heavy. IMO...but I've never put siyahs on a bow.

PatM:
Edge grained  Ash is a good all around choice but you can use any heavy wood if you reduce the dimensions according to how strong the wood actually is.
