Reverse handle BBO
« on: August 23, 2008, 12:26:01 am »
This one is a new thing I tried. It is 62 1/2" NTN 50# at 29" 1" wide at fades tapering to 1/2" at nocks. The handle is hickory,Ipe and Osage. I Think this will be the first of a few and improved bows of this design that I will build. I built this one for Ian and it taught me alot. All in all I don't think it turned out to bad.. Shoots good off the knuckle!!! It is left handed so that was the only way I could shoot it. ;D The finish isn't dry enough to string it so I will post the other pics tomorrow..

You are a bow building machine.  You must keep the lumber yard in business by yourself.  Good work as always.  Justin

another purty bow, like the contrasting colors in your grip area's..
