Hi Guys
Made a couple Bows , 1 laminated and one yew self bow (yew came from tree in Parents garden - seasoned for 10 years but made while ago)
but now making couple laminated bows - found great source of Bamboo for backing and core Timbers from Wenan smith in worthing
but having trouble finding a local supplier of Belly wood.
So does anyone know in West Sussex (Henfield-Brighton area) or nearish
That has
IPE
Lemonwood
Anything thats a good belly wood .
or any suggestions or what wood i can use that can buy in the UK (belly) and where to buy
I only want 1-2 pieces (2m x 45mmx 20mm) so dont need a place with expensive shipping or buy whole plank
IPE supposed to be great but cannot find any - have contacted Builders merchants , Decking companies etc - so any suggestions would be great
Thanks Mark
