is ash a good wood for a bow

[smchapp]

yes ash is a very good wood for bows

[mobilhacker]

how thick is plywood? 0.9mm 1.2mm?

and all layers have the same thickness?

I want to make my own by the same method

[smchapp]

i am not sure i dont know about plywood, the cherry lams i make myself, i cut them 1/8 inch thick than taper them with a jointer

@fox123456789ish depends on how easly yoU want it to be. iv made some that costs me 10$ for the materials and some that cost me 75. just depends on the tools you want to used and it depends on the types of wood you use and if you use fiberglass etc..

I noticed that there has been no response so I can tell you the epoxy I use.. I use smooth-on EA40. It is a two part epoxy and yes the heat speeds the process up. You can cut a 24hr process(depending on the outside temp) down to 6hrs. Hope this helps

@MrDjRinzo three rivers archery, kustom king archery, and Bingham archery products are some places to pick this up

would the limbs that you made be good for a take down recurve bow???

would be very grateful if any one could reply

is that foxy shazam in the background?

Your torso and lower half of face/chin is just lovely. Added a super nice touch to this vid! Oh yea, did I mention the bow you made is great too? Cuz that's kinda important. Yea... the bow... awesome :D

[MrDjRinzo]

oh i get it, it looks like you are painting the glue onto the masking tape but its actually the fiberglass with the tape on the other side. anyone know where to get fiber glass strips like that?

[fox123456789ish]

how much will it cost to make a bow for me?

[GreeneNatives]

Do you use glue or epoxy and what brand do you prefer? Do you have to use heat to cure the adhesive you use or does heating it just speed up the process? Do you use a jig to taper the individual layers?

@pingpong316 Any hard woods will do. (as opposed to soft porous woods)
