another tri-lam...(with fulldraw pics)
« on: April 22, 2007, 02:57:44 pm »
Here's another reflex deflex bow I tillered out months ago and just finally got around to finishing. It's 49#s at 28", 60" long and under and inch wide at the fades. Bamboo back, padauk lam (which was way to thick and is probably poised on the brink of overpowering the belly, as this was my first experiment with tri-lams) in the middle, and an osage core. The handle is made up of bacote and ipe, and the tips are bacote and horn. A nice shootin' little bow.

Dan

Nice looking bow there. I like the color also.  I was waiting to post thinking with the trouble you were having you were getting ready to post full draw.  Justin

Nice bow. Did you make it for Dave Osbornes son little John? If you did, he shoots left handed. For those that don't know Dave, he is the most generous man you will meet in primitive archery and to date has given away tons of osage for very little in return. Some seem to forget this.

Gee that wasn't the nicest comment I've gottin' on here...

I would have given this bow to him perhaps, but I fear it will start to fret due to the thick center lam. I do have a bow for him in the works, and I don't see why you would feel the need to make a snide comment like that... Besides it's not like I didn't work hard for my share, Dave just insisted me and John S. take most of the haul. I have a forgetful nature, and told Dave how sorry I was that I forgot. I'm working on it, but bows take time.

Don't take it the wrong way Dan. Dave does not know I made any comments on here, but the man will sweat right along with you to cut and split sage and you are absolutly correct. He will insist that you take all or most, that's just the way he is. On the other hand, I feel if we benefit from someone, we should return the favor. Again, don't take it the wrong way but promises were made.

Nice job on the bow Bowmo.  I started to work up some Paduak last year and it was way brittle.  I hear it is very variable.

I don't see how the previous comment could be taken any other way than in a negative sense.
