Based off the replies i got in my last post i think i will go to the lumberyard tomorow and pick up some hickory, and ipe for my warbow, with some ash and maple for my next hill style bow.
I will use some 1/4 inch x 72" lams of either cherry or walnut as a core. Since i want to go longer, i though that i could maybe taper the core to feather out with the last 2-3 inches of each limb would just be hickory and ipe, so the entire limb would taper, or should i just not use a core?
So what dimensions should i use? im thinking 80-90# and i want it really long to reduce stacking and to really lower the chance of breakage (76 ntn -80ntn?)
thanks for the help!
also, any ideas on dimensions on a 60# hill with hickory baked ash and or maple would be appreciated!
A good war bow measurement is your height plus your hands length. In my case I am 5'10" and my hand is 8" long so 78".
