Black locust D bow
« on: September 04, 2014, 12:04:20 am »
This is my first successful black locust bow.  It had some chryshals  in the handle but I fixed them by sanding them out and laminating black walnut maple then more black walnut.  I used TBII for the glue.  I am very happy with the results. It still bends through the handle.  This bow is for me, It has been a long time sense I have made one for myself.  It shoot really nice with very little shock.  The stave was very tight grain locust.  I wasn't sure it would make a bow but it did.  The tips are true Brazilian rosewood, dug out of a barn in North Dakota.  Thanks for lookin.

Specs:
63" NTN
Limbs 1 1/2"
Handle 1 1/4"
Tips 5/16"
40#@26"

Hot dang man! She looks sweet! I have a big BL tree in my back yard. It's in a tree line so it's super straight without branches for probly 15 feet. If I cut It I can see the piles of wood and rock at the town barn. Decisions decisions >:D
