Hickory Board bow questions
« on: January 25, 2011, 11:21:46 am »
OK I need to build 3 hickory board bows 1 at 60'' one at 52'' and 1 at about 42''. I want them all at somewhere between 40# and 45#. Starting with a 4 qtr. or a 1'' board. Any suggestions would be appreciated.All will be self bows. That way i dont have to loan out my bow when i do mounted archery demos lol.

There are buildalongs on my site. I like the bend i the handle design. I would amend my instructions to make the bows 1.25 to 1 3/8 wide. Jawge

listen to George, he's the board bow guru
failure is an option, everyone fails, it's how you handle it that matters.
