siyahs
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.
