5 Curve Hackberry
« on: February 24, 2012, 06:05:41 pm »
Heres a hackberry bow i started tearing into back at martys(one of several staves worked on that weekend),and i got around to wrapping it up a few days ago. This was a stave from pearly,thanks buddy  ;)...and now i pass it on to my bro-in law. Its a lefty,but can be shot well from either way due to perfect string tracking. Its 67" ntn, 43@27".

thanks guys....if you look closely each limb has a big knot,and each are the exact same distance from the center of the handle. i laid it out like this on purpose..i think the unbraced shot shows them the best.

I watched him do it and told him I agreed all the while thinking it aint never gonna hold up! As usual he proved me wrong.
