Hello! 3 bows..
« on: August 01, 2011, 10:26:22 am »
Hello everybody!

I like to introduce myself, Im kristof,28y old from Belgium.Some of you may know me from the other forums.
id like to show these 2 bows i made a fiew weeks ago,and one i just finished today..

The first one is a 63"BL Hunting bow. Pulling 50pounds at 27" I can pull it further at about 29"..but 27 is my drawlength.
I made some drawings of a hunter and feather on the back..Maybe its a little over the top, but i like it!
Next one is a bit of a character bow (molly type)
Its European bird cherry, 62"ntn. Pulling 60pounds at 27"  a little to heavy for my taste!!  I will reduce it later..
This bow is very fast!! but drawing it, is somthing else!! Its the first time i worked with bird cherry and i like it!

I hope you'll like em..

Thanks !

Wow, what's not to like about them!? I'd be VERY happy with either. You did a great job on both those bows.

Forgot the 3rd Bow!  8)

Its a 66"1/2 BL hunter bow 45# at 28"draw.. Made from a small (dead) sapling so its quite narrow 1"1/4 from the fades to mid limb, and tapered the last 8" to 1/2" and has some knots!.
It has a straight profile with flipped tips.HT it twice.. It draws and shoots very smooth.

enjoy :)

Great job on those bows, they look great!  I also really like that quiver.  Did you make it and is that a fox eating your arrows?

Kristof, very nice indeed. I think youv'e got the knots figured out and it really adds character. As for the quiver,it rocks. I did'nt realize there were rednecks in Belgium but I do now. Great job all around. I think you will fit in nicely around here.  Danny
