My First Bow
« on: May 05, 2009, 01:02:56 pm »
Hello,

  Just a little history about me. I am the tye of person that is pretty much willing to try anything new. About a week ago my friend told me about this site and about making bows. I decided that I could make a bow. So, I sat down and with some instructions from my friend I made my first bow. Its a long bow measuring 66" and is made from red oak, at 30" draw it is about 30 pounds, but should increase with a little heat treating. Unfortunatly it will be tonight before I can upload the pictures, since my wife just had a baby and we are at the hospital.

CONGRATULATIONS first and foremost. welcome to PA. we can wait for pics until you have time. making bows with a newborn isnt too bad working around the sleep deprivation  ;D it is definitely worth it (the sleep deprivation and the bow making). enjoy the new addiction. and again CONGRATULATIONS!
