I'm Baaack!!! ...With a Red Oak Board Bow
« on: January 28, 2011, 08:02:47 pm »
Well here's my first bow in around 3 months..  It is a red oak board, 70" NtN and 45# @ 28"  I heat treated around 2 inches of reflex into the bow when I got it to brace and it kept around 1/4" of reflex after shooting it in.  My Surgeon released me and said I can ease back into building so here's my first bow since then.  ;D  I used red and black Ritt Fabric Dye for the color transitions and B-50 dacron for the handle.  This is neither my fastest nor prettiest bow that I have ever made but I really like the way it shoots.  It is also the longest bow I have ever made too.  Hope you all like it.    :) :)

Thanks Nate, Dave, and Sandy!  It feels great to be able to do the things I love again.  It has been a rough 12 weeks not getting to play with bows and arrows.  :)
