Pat, I saw the different color and assumed it was an added riser. I am not all that familiar with ash.

 Preshaping the overlays before gluing them on makes them easier to blend into the limb tip. At least the taper back towards the limb.

Me too. It's our age, ya'know :D

In my profession, they say the mark of a master teacher is that he recognizes what ideas are worth stealing.  Is the same true of bowyers?  ha ha

Not sure I understand but if I was worried about theft I probably would not put it on the world wide Webb. More of a joke. Arvin

   Ash is one of the most inconsistent woods I know of. So many species where the wood looks about the same. Some ash is very dense and makes great bows other ashes not so much.

I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out. I'm working on a white ash selfbow currently as well. I'll second the comment about inconsistency. The other stave from this log had nice thick rings and made a pretty nice bow. This one has super thin rings with lots of early wood and is more than twice as thick but bending quite a bit already. One limb is thicker than the other but bends more. Not too sure this one will turn out nice, but yours looks like it might!

I was joking, too.  We all share and borrow ideas.   :)

Is this about the right color on heat treat? Infrared says about 300degrees.
