With a bend like that any wood will work! Birch grows like a weed around here, a few species of it. I gotta try it one day

plain simple beauty!
Elegant lines and nothing superfluous on that stick.

I have never tried birch, the species here in my homeland are not that easy to chase a ring ... so I will go with a sapling and simply throw of the bark.

I really like this bow, such elegant symmetrical curves, beautiful tiller and great speed. I have yellow birch in my bush, I certainly wouldn't mind trying to cut some logs and make a bow or two as well from it. You inspired me!
