Hi all,
I have been building my pacific yew longbow and have pretty much gotten it into its rough final shape. I have been scraping away at it's heartwood to lower the draw weight and I have noticed the sapwood is now a great portion of the thickness.
Is there a general rule for the ratio of sapwood to heartwood?
Thanks.
