Dimensions for my original bow wood is:
57-3/4" long, 1-3/4" wide, 1-1/4" thick.
This is the bow wood, not the side boards---do you need the dims of them also?--can measure them for you if you need.
I did find out that the Mahogany is most likely from the Phillipines--best I can determine, it...
Mine are all Mahogany, so they may be a little off from the White Oak. I can measure tomorrow and post dimensions(I had to make two replacements)
When you say 'composite' what is that?-carbon fiber?
Fuzzytoaster is correct-4 wheeler and mower-or anything else that will fit. The front bow originally had a metal bow--I replaced it with Mahogany to match the others.
I think I must have goofed the post before, but, the corners were blasted, primed and painted w/ Rustoleum Aged Iron paint. Bow Carriage Bolts & nuts were all replaced w/stainless and painted copper. For the sides, the bolts(flat head screws) were all replaced w/Stainless-into captive nuts--all...

Wood bows-
My A2 has solid Mahogany bows and sides-this stuff is not available at any Lowes/Home depot and such. The guy I bought it from has 5 more trailers just like it--all Mahogany. I had to replace a broken front bow-got a good sized piece of lumber(Honduras Mahogany--2"X3"X10')from our...
