mini experiment bow
« on: February 17, 2011, 01:48:52 am »
in a pile of trees that were cleared in a farm next to my house i found a small cherry tree, but the only thing was, that the stright part at the bottom was only 40in, so i decided, why not and after some heat treating( it aparently wasn't fully dry) it is now 36in 2in of set and ( heres he suprising part) 50@14in!
now i think thats pretty good, its going to be my little bow i take with me while fishing, and dont worry ill post pics tommorow after school ???
thanks for listening
