"Fenrir", 61lbs@29"
« on: April 17, 2016, 04:12:52 pm »
Hey Guys,
I have already build several yew bows, but never al "real" ELB which means a lenght of at least 6 feet (183cm, weight: 21,16oz), hornnocks and a D-profil. My other bows are shorter (my normal draw is 26") and I usally prefer overlays.
This is my first try of a proper ELB and the first time I have build Hornnocks.
I hope you like it  :)
Greetings from Germany!

I like it! Nice work all around. The small nocks look good. It's easy to make them look like giant chess pieces stuck on the ends of a bow. This will be one of my next projects. Hope mine looks as good as yours. You should put it in the Bow of the Month contest!

That's a well tillered bow, your horn nocks could be refined a bit but these are your first ones.

Very nice bow.
