Hey Bubby,
       Very nice stick. Hard maple makes for a snappy shooter......one question though....is it real hard to make them bows "wrong" handed? >:D  That full draw is real pretty no matter how it gets drawn....

Howdy Buddy,

Wow, very nice, simple bow, and I love those walnut trimmings.


So is that a straight taper from fades to tip?
 
What is the limb width at the fades?

And, what is the handle thickness?  (I'm trying to get an idea of minimum size on a handle.)

Thanks for sharing,
Canoe

Bevan, it's a twisted thread
Pat, thank's
Thomas, hope she work's good for ya
Jeffw, no way I can turn out bows like ken75, he's a machine
sailordad, it's from a board
Eric, thank's
Canoe, It's 1 5/8" @ the fades strait pyramid taper to like 3/8" tips, handle area 4" long about 1" @ the narrowest and just remove wood till it feels good
osage, tru oil, 6 coats
eflanders, thank's and I appreciate all you're comments, Bub
