Ash makes an excellent bow wood.  It's one of the no cost choices on our base (North American Hardwood) bows.

Pressed "post" on accident lol. Anyway I'm glad I seen this thread I'm thinking of building a laminated bow with ash core as well. Good to know it'll work. Good luck.

This gets away from the post a little, but how does Ash go as a belly wood? Or as a backing or self board bow?

I've got a number of Ash logs that I've milled into boards and I know the roundbacks will be good for staves. I'm curious if the straightgrained boards might be used like a Red Oak board bow?
