Little Ugly Hickory Self Bow
« on: September 06, 2009, 07:18:25 pm »
Here's some picts of my latest little ugly hickory stick, 58" ntn 35# at 26".  On the tree at high brace, 16" and 22" . Note the two super glue filled knots on the upper fade. About 70 arrows and still holding.

Thanks for the kind words guys. Your comments mean a lot to this new bowyer.  This little bow is a good example of the truth in materials law. The material has got to fit it's intended use. With the bends and knots in the stave I had to drop the weight a bit and shorten the draw for the bow to survive. I'd rather have a lighter and shorter draw than a busted stick.

Good looking bow. And looks like you've figured out the advantages of working with the wood instead of against it. Nice little weapon, I like it.
