Yew flatbow with a little character
« on: May 11, 2016, 01:28:39 am »
Here is this longbow of 68", 48# @ 29". draws smoothly to 30". That is a 30" back of point arrow in the full draw pic.
A little outer limb reflex. A bit kinky in the lower limb makes for an odd bend at brace. It feels very balanced, smooth, and fast when taking all she has to give. Inlay strikeplate is reclaimed ivory from some old piano keys. Thanks Snag! Tip overlays are water buff. Cane grip wrap. French polish finish. Needed some better lighting for photos, but had to get this one on its way to Michigan, so here it is.

I like that one. I need to try that rattan wrap. I like it a lot on a yew bow. Seems to be the perfect fit.

Thanks guys for the nice comments. bjrogg, its headed to Novi, MI.

Chris, I like the rattan for many reasons, one is that it is about the easiest handle option to do, once you have done it a couple times. Let me know if you want some. I have lots in stock. Narrow and wide.  This one pictured, being the wide.


Very Busy Beadman. Several more bows nearing completion.  :)

Thanks Jon, I think the pin nocks are becoming my favorite. Very functional.
