saturday morning maple board bow.
« on: October 22, 2011, 11:38:40 pm »
Picked up 2 pieces of maple at home depot last Friday. This board was so light and easy to work i immediately fell in love with it. I must say this is one of the best ones I have made so far. I have made 3 osage bows, 2 yew bows, a hickory bow, 1 red oak longbow, but this is the bow that shoots the best. She is 63 '' ntn and pulls 38# at 26". She shoots very fast and hits hard. Tiller looks off in the picture but its tillered quite well actually.  Its the only bow that shoots my broadheads fast and hard without the zigzag. Outshoots my recurve too. I already almost took a doe with it.

I think your tiller looks just fine. Good job! I am also a big fan of maple. Just one question, however, does your Mom know you're shooting in the house???  ;)

Good Job on that bow, is it hard maple or soft maple? They say soft maple is not bow wood but some of my fastest shooters were soft maple.

For sure a nice tiller. good job! Its so exiting when you come accross the deer, heart raises and its hard to concentrate on one spot. good luck hunting.

Nice work! I gotta say, I think maple is a favorite of mine. Maybe because one of my first bows was a maple board bow. Anyway, great lookin bow!!
