Summer Project Complete" Two Limbs"
« on: November 13, 2012, 10:03:57 pm »
Here she is the sister bow to the trade bow built this year. The trade bow turned out so well I had to make one for myself.
59" NTN 70#@26" A 4" long handle, 1 1/8 at the handle, out to 1 5/8 and tappering to 5/8 at the tips. Osage, one layer of sinew, rattlesnake skin, beaver tail handle, bison horn on the tips.
Bend through handle somewhat of a D shape. She"s a real screamer and will probable pick up some more speed as she ages. To Primitive Archer, this forum and you all. Thanks for all you do ;)

Oh man, that one raises the bar yet another notch in here!  Some fantastic finish work over excellent tillering skills, very nice.

Thats a looker there Knapper. Very nice work and no doubt a great shooting bow to boot, tiller looks flawless for that bow to my eyes.
 Nice job all around. :)

If you ask me that looks like a killer design. 70 lbs with that length and width/tiller must be very fast, plus the benifits of the sinew. I wouldn't even care about the finish on this one, i think you nailed the bendy-handle design. Do you have a chrono? i bet that's hella fast!

Very great bow!

That's cool, on the one tip i didn't really even notice the little wiggle since it's eliminated once it's drawn. Again, awesome!
