Maple self bow
« on: October 01, 2010, 02:20:36 pm »
Here's another bow I made for the wife of a friend. I've made him several bows, and his wife has shown some interest in archery, but didn't think she could afford a bow, so this was a gift to her. Maple, 62" NtN, 30#@26", purpleheart accents, Strunk style grip. 1/2" of set.

Gorgeous bow, I like how smooth the lines are.  Is it from a board or stave?
