Question: I have a mulberry tree outside the house.would it be better to wait till summer to cut it and will this make a nice bow in the 55# range? I'll take pic's tomorrow, anyway... I'm going to try that... a friend is going to be dropping trees soon on his property.
Apple limb... use that for my smoker
Ash trees... try a bow or 2 from them.

Y'all make me smile
Cut bow wood when you can.
Walnut makes a pretty bow.
Osborne, Oklahoma.
Boo backed black walnut? Make your bamboo thin and your bow long. Walnut isn't the best in compression. But dang is it pretty. Go for 50# or under.

I'm needing the secret for takedown sleeve installment.
One way I was showed was to sand down the brass - but sometimes that makes it very thin - and it still does not fit tight - I can get it lined up correctly - glued up correctly, then spend way too much time getting it to slide smoothly - usually messing it up. - WHAT's THE SECRET?

H.A.: I rubbed the connection with beeswax and it would fit tight but still separate. When fitting I used a polishing wheel then buffed sleeve. It did not thin the metal.
I had a check in the lower billet so I wrapped it with sinew/hide glue just for insurance.
