This one surprised me
« on: April 07, 2018, 04:38:20 pm »
The more I took a drawknife to this stave, the more I had to cut away, until I was left with a one inch wide piece with a knot in the upper limb. My expectations were low for this bow, but it turned out to be a fine arrow slinger. 63" long, low 50's draw weight at 28"

Thanks a lot guys, I appreciate it. I don't know why the pictures look a little funny, they didn't look like that on my laptop.
