My first is done !!!
« on: February 22, 2009, 06:32:28 pm »
After much reading, Bowyers Bibles 1,2 & 3 , website help, and advice from many, my first selfbow is done. It is ash 60"ntn, 50# @ 26". After I split my log this was a smaller piece I was just going to practice on but it was coming along well so I finished it. The handle was a little slim for me so I wrapped it with caribou fur & wrapped that with shaven hide. Feels good now & shoots good !! I just have to get a nice string for it & it's complete. Now I can start my next one !! Thanks, John

Nice looking bow.  Especially for your first.  You should be proud of your work.  I like the handle detail.
