Paul's bow
« on: June 09, 2014, 06:35:26 am »
Had a good friend that shoot a Howard Hill style long bow ask if I would build him a bow several months back. i thought on it,don't do much of that and decided I would. i finely got it finished up and he drove in from ILL. Friday to pick it up [yall know I don't ship] ;) :) :) :) He has a long draw 29+ so I went with about the cleanest Osage I had every seen,it is 68 n-n 4 inch handle 1 1/2 fads, 1 1/2 about
12 inches out then tapered to less than 3/8 at the tips. Deer horn overlays. Pinned,never done that before but looks pretty cool.Kind of like knife scales. :) Snake skins,didn't have 2 so made do with one long one. Not sure what kind,we call them all Chicken snakes around here. ;) :) :)  Jute wrap grip with leather added to the front for some handle build up.12 strand FF string with Beaver balls.54@28. 8 coats of rub on tru Oil finish with 2 coats of satin polly over that to dull it a bit. Hope you like. Miss Joanie really likes Paul and daughter Molly so she added one of her bow socks. :) :)

That bend looks perfect.  Looks like you set your big friend up nicely.

That one turned out great Pappy, the bow looks like it'll handle that long draw with ease. Not sure I'd ever wanna attempt to make a bow that could draw that far, I always flinch when I'm standing next to someone when they pull one that far back. :D
