Title: I finished my crab apple (no pics)
Post by: snedeker on October 16, 2007, 03:23:57 pm

Maybe this will actually spur me to photograph it.  For some reason I can't explain, I made it 1.5 inch wide, a little narrow, and I eeked out 47#.  Pretty nice though.  I have someone in mind for it thats looking for a lighter bow anyway.  And theres alwayrs the other stave.

Dave, I'm looking forward to seeing your crab bow. I have 6" diameter piece of crab that has been drying for 3 or 4 years now and this winter would be a good time to try it.  You know we demand pics! get on the stick!     Pat

I;ll try to buck up.  I recall pointing out in a post when I started the bow that it had a knot on the back with a bump about the size of a billiard ball cut in half.  Actually, it was only like the outer quarter of a ping-pong ball.  Funny how those things get bigger in your mind.

Wood worked pretty much like hickory.
