Hickory Modoc bow
« on: December 26, 2011, 10:03:26 pm »
Been a while. Here's an imitation Modoc Indian bow of hickory with a pattern from TBBV1. It's 50" ttt, 1.5" at the handle and 2.5" at the widest part of the limbs tapering to 3/4" nocks. Settles to about 1" of set. Tiller probably could have been more circular. Been wanting to make one of these for a while and it was a fun one to make. Thanks for looking.

Nice one.  I like the replica bows most of all.  My son is itching to do one of those out of ERC, and we finally live where that grows, so I'm sure one is in our future.  Looks like a snappy little bow, and the paint job is great.

Thanks everyone. I really appreciate the comments. I believe it's around 35#@22" give or take. I don't think I have it drawn to 22" in the picture though.
