Can you make a self bow out of black walnut?
Yes, you can make a bow out of black walnut it is actually a very good bow wood and makes beautiful self bows. I know people who have made bows from black walnut and I have a stave of it myself. Also self bows are very easy to make but it does take some persistance my first bow broke but my second turned out great and is still shooting today. Just do a search online for instructions on making bows but make you bow 1″ 5/8 wide at the fades and taper it to 1/2 at the tips. Good luck!
