Red oak backed hickory Mollegabet.
« on: May 11, 2013, 05:26:19 pm »
Here's a red oak backed hickory Molle, I made this for a lady from church who wanted to gift it to her son. Draw weight is 25@24"  I imagine his draw will be about 20 inches atm so I think that he has some growing room. This project took almost no time at all. I was taking a break from breaking bows so i could gain some confidence back, well, its back, kind of... anyway, many thanks to my sister who also happens to have exactly a 24 inch draw. I'll get close ups when shes finished shooting the bow in.

You made an oak backer for a hickory core muffintop?

I'd give the upper limb some scrapes in the fade area and inner limb...most of the bend in that limb is a few inches before the lever fade
