Title: Ash Flatbow Ardea
Post by: Matthias Wiltschko on July 22, 2010, 01:00:33 pm

Hi!

This is my latest Ash Flatbow I made.

Length: 69"
Drawweight: 35#@27"
Stringfollow: < 1"
32" drawlength would be no problem, but this one should be a loyal friend for a long time.

Nocks made of buffalohorn
6 strands Dacron
Leatherhandle

Sleek and minimalist.  It's a beauty.  Your camo needs tweaking, though... I can still see you.   ;)

Beautiful. You're bows have this elegance I can't describe. I also really love how you get your tips so thin. Bet its a sweet shooter. Great job.  :)

Ash is such a pleasant bow wood. And your work with this piece is very, very pleasant.  :P

Awesome bow, very pure, clean lines. It's beautiful. Very nice pics, too, I can tell you know what you're doing with the camera.  Ganz Ausgezeichnet!

Wow.  The elegance of that thing is amazing.  Simple, clean, and freaking beautiful.  Love the handle wrap man.  What'd you use?  Again, congrats.

I am glad you like it.

@0209
I used red leather with the fleshside on the outside.

@Orkraider
A lot of light is my secret, I only make pictures with the sun shining.

@zenmonkeyman
my camo works only in the winter  :D
bowhunting is forbidden in Austria. :-[

I remember your last ash bow and this one is just as nice. I knew it was your work before the FD shot.

Very nice, i must try some ash again.

You done that Ash right. A contender for BOM to be sure.

This bow has a very strong sense of purity. When I think of the word selfbow, this bow would serve as the perfect example.
Simply elegant - perfectly executed!! NICE.
