black locust for a friend
« on: May 16, 2016, 04:00:50 pm »
Hello Folks,
I got a deal with a guy who works at the national forest: I get a few car trailors with bow wood and therefor I build a selfbow for him.
See what comes out:
Black Locust, statics,  length ttt 66“, width  40mm, thickness 12mm.
Draw- weight  36#  @ 26“, enjoy and tell me your thoughts please. I`ll appreciate, thanks

Nice bow Hans, the workmanship looks top notch. I like the color in that piece of locust, very pretty. Also like the back profile and the smooth flow at the transition from handle to the shoulders at the fades. Excellent bow.
