Hickory Bow with pics
« on: May 22, 2008, 05:29:54 am »
This is my new Hickory Board Bow. It's 1,3" wide from the fadeouts to 5/16" at the nocks. The nocks are with walnut overlays and the whole stick is 63" long.
47#@28". Takes 1" of reflex after ca. 50 shots, most oif it in the reflexed tips because I gave it a little too much till tillering. I think I will give the bow away to a newbie in shooting wooden bows. Tips are reflexed with dry heat and the belly is tempered:

Great looking bow. I like to see a bow drawn all the way like that.
