As the title says....a molly curve made from a red oak board....boy am I gonna get an earful for posting a bent piece of house trim
...its 67" ntn...57@27"...24 ounces mass weight...osage tip overlays(just had to put some real wood on it)...stitched black leather grip....its smooth as silk to draw,and totally rips a hardcore arrow...not to toot my own horn but I have never shot such a fast board bow before,and ive seen and shot lots of them by lots of other folks and myself included...it fricken hammers...im impressed,and I don't say that often...and I hate to say it and admit it,but I fell in love with a board
this bows been done for over a month...and I was gonna send this as a trade bow,but I just couldn't send a friggin board and ruin my reputation...oh wait..too late
thanks for looking

Beautiful work as always Blackhawk. With the size of those tip I am not suprised it's fast, those things are much more narrow than I have ever dared...

That's a sweet looking piece of lumber! Nice work. It goes to show that a good stain and finish can make a board look sharp.

Mighty sweet, Chris. Uhh, I thought boards came from trees, too!?!

Sounds and looks like a great bow. Is it how I am looking at it, or are those levers bending some?

Since you are a board bow guy now why don't you make me a deal on your stave stash
Seriously though, that is about the nicest "bored" bow I have ever seen. Those tips are crazy thin.

Heck, you got some Osage worked in, I don't think your reputation will suffer.
. That looks like a mighty fine shooter for sure!

Hell just froze over
Very nice bow sir. By the way if you need a board bow intervention I'll take it off your hands.

Looks so much better as a bow than it would have as door casing. You did the right thing by getting that wood out of the house. Smooth looking bow Chris, I like that baby.

I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.
