Title: Hickory bow 64" NtN #42@26"
Post by: Don on January 20, 2013, 04:26:52 pm

Hello. As some know my last bow, the osage problem bow went boom.
So I brought out this hickory stave. It was backed with linen because of a bad spot on one limb.
It has a small amount of prop twist but the string lines up well.
Anyway this is for my daughter so I may bring the weight down some, she pulls 24".
Here's some picture and please let me know if I should do anything different on the next hickory I have waiting.
Not the best pictures, it's cold outside.

Thanks fellas.
I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything.
Guess I'll shoot it a bit and finish it up.

Nicely done Don. Don't believe there is any room for improvement on that bend, tiller looks real good on that hickory. Good looking bow all around but Purple?  :o

Nice lookin' bow Don. I know what you mean about purple. I had to make a girl a purple one with a hot pink handle wrap. ???

Good looking bow, there should be a lot of shots in that one.

Yep, girls like that purple. For my daughters that is in the works, I used purpleheart wood on tips and riser. But the handle developed  a seperation at the fades yesterday while shooting it in  :o
You could use some purple cloth for a wrap or dye some designs.
Nice bow and good tiller. Thanks for sharing.
