IF, big if, I can find some time this spring I hope to build a couple.
I have some Yew that I got my dad to cut on his mill last spring. It was too 'wiggly' to make a decent self bow, so I was planning on laminating two strips of the yew together and backing it with rawhide.
Was going to make the first one for my nephew, and the second for myself.
Do you have any idea how to estimate draw weight with wood laminations / rawhide backing? I know there are a thousand variables, just looking for somewhere to start.
Cheers.
