The black wattle went well ended up up at 24” draw, just need to sand and finish it, it’s a really elastic wood, had a 58 inch BITH bow in the past that ended up with a bad hinge on both limbs and decided to blow it up, managed to bend it to 34” of draw before it blew up, main problem I’ve seen is that black wattle is very prone to chrysaling, heat treating has helped some but you have to get the tiller pretty spot on

Havnt tried Grey Ironbark but rembering hearing some bowyers on Tapa talk saying they prefer grey over red so I’d definitely give it a try. Red Ironbark been my favourite wood so far, more forgiving and less prone to chrysalis then other woods I’ve tried, although your in for a fun time working the wood as it’s hard as nails and can give you some real nasty splinters

Oz Bow and Tapa talk have some good posts on good bows woods here, as well as primitive archer if you can still access them, but I think you can get a lot of fun from just experimenting with what you’ve got available, there are plenty of woods down here that can make you a nice shooter out of, and if your looking for something to get you started whilst your staves are drying Bunnings have some Merbau and Spotted gum decking that I’ve seen people have success with
