ok then no answer , I'll just use beeswax it can't do any harm. I am a bit disappointed though, I thought someone would give advice on this as everyone else gets an answer.

Would it be possible to make a bow (decent) from willow....
I ask as I have a willow in the garden, which I am gradually reducing (to a pollard) and usually just burn what ever I lop....but there are some substantial straight notless limbs which could provide some nice split wood for a bow. But not much point if willow is unsuitable.

Dwardo, I think mine is a crack willow or maybe a hybrid....but defo not goat....
I may have a "play with it" just by way of an excersize, after all, even if it is a total failure I can still burn what's left so no loss!

"Crack" willow doesnt sound like a good start![]()
Who knows though, only tried goat willow my self.
In my experience, willow is good for cricket bats (and arrows) but not bows...for what its worth....![]()
That looks good dwardo. How much set, what poundage/drawlength, and is there a full draw picture...ooo, and while we're at it, brace height?...
