HHB Bow
« on: April 14, 2010, 10:35:20 pm »
I was looking back at some past bows and was inspired by two made by Marc St louis and Pappy.They were made out of hophornbeam.I would like to thank Marc, Pappy and all others that post bows made out of wood that is not standard.I have been stuck in a rut with hickory.

Here are some details it is 63 in long 50# at 27in. Stain is walnut that I made from walnuts taken from my dads yard. Tips were bent using dry heat on a form.Its not as good as Marc or Pappys but I hope you like. Thanks again.

Very nice, everything looks great.  I especially like your choice of stain.  Fine work, you should be very proud of that one.
