My trade bow is late! but its finished! :)
« on: August 03, 2012, 02:51:27 pm »
Here is my trade bow finally!  My 3rd go at it,  #1 was an explosive end to a decent sinew/yew recurve.  I bombed the tiller on #2 and finally a success on #3.

Its from a 3 inch yew sapling with tight rings and multi-brown colored heartwood

61" NTN and 62 1/2 TTT
unbacked, ironwood tip overlays, brown serving material wrapped handle and brown leather floppy rest.
its a bendy handle type, with no bend at all in the last 5-6 inches of each limb.

My guy was lacking in specifics for his bow so i didnt think it too bad to show the drawweight/length......plus i am a month late :S

I gotta say, i love the bending properties of yew, but i dont especially like how soft it is.

Third time's the charm! It took me 4 tries last year to get a trade bow done :)

Nice tiller, that's a good looking bow, worth waiting for.
