Ash Bows?

Anybody have ash in their bow?

Here's a Dwyer Defiant I used to own that had Tamo Ash on the belly:

I had a Bow River T/D with Ash limbs. Looked great and shot smooth....but I'm partial to Yew....   :rolleyes:

So, can you tell I like Ash?? LOL

Had a Dwyer Dauntless and Endeavor. Both had ash limbs and shot great. If I didn't drop draw weight, I would still be shooting these.

That's a very cool bow!

I agree with Alex that is an awesome bow.

Got a custom dwyer dauntless with all ash limbs for my wife. Sorry, no pics but the limbs are a nice subtle honey brown with just enough grain to make it "pretty".
I know bowyer dave dwyer is a big fan of ash as a limb core and frequently recommends it and builds a lot of his stock bows with it.  I can't compare apples to apples my bamboo dauntless to her ash dauntless simply because the draw weight difference is too great.

that waterfall ash is incredible. ash is one of my favorite limb woods...just plain old ash. i have a sweet little recurve with ash limbs, i'll snap some pics. great looking bows! my wife always said i was an ash man...

I have a Great Northern made with White Ash in the limbs. A very good performing bow! I was surprised with it's smoothness and speed for it's draw weight.  I firmly believe ash is an underrated bow wood and is equal, if not better, than most other common woods used in making bows. And I've had alot of different bows made for me over the years ! Horserod
