Title: 54" be day handle yeller wood dimensions?
Post by: Blaflair2 on November 05, 2014, 04:25:13 pm

What's good dimensions for a 54" bendy handle bow? 26" draw? Maybe 50-55 lbs

1.25" wide for almost any osage bows will work.

Simple D bows at this length are usually around 1" to 1 1/4" wide at the grip and taper down to 1/2" nocks.  Recurve the tips to help with string angle

I just cut a mulberry stave the exact length.
Will these dimentions work for a 40-45lb bendy hanble?

mulberry or any white wood can still make a bow this length, go wider though
I'd maybe go 1 1/2" at the grip
