cn a bow be made of poplar?

[Eric Krewson]

You can make a bow from any wood but not a good bow from any wood. Poplar would be right up there with a pine 2X4 for bow making, maybe slightly better.

they do make nice arrows however.

It might make a good bow...if it was designed and backed properly. I suppose you won't really know until you try it.

I attempted my first bow....if you can call it an attempt, from poplar. The knots do not hold up well at all.
