Title: 51" Ash Bendy Handle
Post by: Peacebow_Coos on August 08, 2012, 07:27:58 pm

This is a piece of Oregon Ash, the sister stave of the bow I posted on here awhile back that I made for my cousin.  It's 51"NTN, 1 1/2"wide at the handle out to 1 3/4" in the center of the limbs and back to just under 11/16" at the tips.  It's roughly 3/8" to 1/4" thick but it's got some character so it's kinda hard to gauge :)  It pulls 44#@22", little west coast style, I've let kids shoot it, and people who don't ever handle wood bows and I cringe when they overdraw it but I'd say it's been drawn to 25 safely.  I don't push it though, 44 is plenty for me.  I'm gonna be selling it in our Casino Gift Shop, Three Rivers Casino in Florence, Or.  A quiver and 3 arrows.  It's called Thunder Cloud because it shoots lightning ;)  Thanks for lookin guys and once again thanks for everything.
