Those are nice looking bows.  What is Rowan and how does it compare to other woods?

Rowan is called also mountain ash and in Latin sorbus acuparia. There are many species of Rowan. It is compairable for ash. It is quite soft compared to hickory. It has better tension abilities than compression and that's why the belly has to be left relatively flat. Also good for steaming or boiling and then pressing on a form. good for dry heat also.
