Black Locust character r/d/recurve (pic heavy)
« on: October 11, 2013, 09:42:46 pm »
Last pics on the camera for a while, gotta get a new one or something sometime soon.

Edit: Alright, to be honest I don't know what to call the design  ???

Black locust with character tips and slight natural deflex. some odd density issues threw me off at first but I managed to even things out. I'll measure things next time I find the tape  ::)

50#@28"
1/2" set just unstrung from ten shots
Jute wrap and leather rest


Top limb


Bottom limb




Upper tip, some leftover wrinkle pattern/



Again, I'll get someone with a working camera to help with the full draw  ::)

Black locust. Black locust everywhere.
Mollegabets all day long.
Might as well make them short, save some wood to keep warm.

Looks nice and even better braced but we want to see it pulled back. ( ya know thats in the bow posting rule book) ;)
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.
