what kind of wood is best to make a long bow from? I know that Yew is the best but i dont have much of that.
Would Ash work well?
I made a sycamore long bow but it bends and then keeps its shape making the power behind the string smaller.
If i were to make a bow from Yew should the wood be cut fresh or should i get a dead branch?
thanks!
Jon
