Hi,
I'm new to this forum, but would like to ask advice on purchasing bow staves for making longbows. I've made a few English longbows from Lemonwood, and a laminate of lemonwood & Hickory, but am having dificulty trying to source any other types of stave.
Ideally, I'd like my next bow(s) to be from Ash, but can't seem to track down anybody that'll supply some. I'm in Norfolk, and so far can only get kiln dried planks of Ash, which I'm hesitant to use.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
