simple bow pics...

[michbowguy]

62" ntn, 38# @ 26",unbacked white oak sliver , simple cordage grip,small leather arrow pass,beeswax finish. This bow was made for a youngster who i had promised a bow too and the only one he could draw back has a raised splinter!
He seemed quite devastated as to why he could not have any of my bigger bows,as i wanted him to enjoy shooting.
soooo i took a couple of days and put everything else on back burner and made this.

Way to go Jamie. Keep them kids interested!      I love the simpler bows. I'm sure your little friend will too!     Is the upper limb outer 1/3 a bit stiff or is that the camera angle?    Pat

[michbowguy]

i tried to put narrow, thick tips on this one.
but i think its stiff now that you mention it.
not sure, should i care , or will that be a worry spot in future?

[michbowguy]

this thing is fun to shoot!

Nice lookin bow jamie did you cook the belly? One lucky kid.

[OldBow]

Pretty neat and nice of you to make it for a child. Any chance of seeing the bow cranked backed by the recipient?

[Hillbilly]

Simple, primal-looking-I like.

Really a nice bow and gesture! Jawge

[michbowguy]

i didnt temper the belly. i just added some color from fire.
white oak is awesome as is.
