ok, i was boars this weekend, and well, hurricane irene took down a cherry, there was nothing long enough to make even a shortbow, but in my boredom, i got the idea to make a mini crossbow, so i found a good log, split it into quarters, got 2 good sections with few knots so i grabed the best and took it down to the size i needed and them let the heat gun go crazy, it was so small i was able to dry it pretty quickly with the aid of my microwave( don't worry, i would never try that with a bow). after that i took the other pice got i close to a square shape and finished it on the table saw, and took it down to what the stock is now. i then macked the bow with part of an old sheet, hemp rope i pulled apart, and then wrapped it in hemp rope, all soaked in titebond 2
now i know this is usually the part where i tell you about the draw length and weight, but i want to see what peoples guesses are
see who can come closest
i will tell you though that the prod is about 15inches
good luck guessing
