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?...
