Heartwood Hickory - 47# @ 27"
« on: April 30, 2016, 10:24:10 pm »
This was a heartwood hickory stave that I had split out of the big hickory stave gifted to me by John the bowyer. I decided to try a really long tip overlay in Osage and ended up doing a cherry wood underlay as well. Though, the cherry was a result of having cracked the belly while putting curves in. Whatever works. Lol

64" Tip to Tip
47# @ 27"
Osage Tip Overlays
Cherry Wood Underlays
Kangaroo Lace Grip
Fastflight String w/Beaver Fur Silencers

Superb bow!  Those under and overlays look great and the flipped tips as well.

You got some really nice curves on that one! Job well done. I really like the handle wrap.

I like the looks of this one, especially the grain on the back. Did you heat treat the belly?

Nice job I like the handle wrap too. Almost naked but not quite. Does it stay in place good like that.

Thanks, everyone. :)

RPS3 - I encountered a bit of set while tillering, so I decided to heat treat the belly. Still ended up with a tiny bit of set, but has a lot more snap to the shot than before. Next time, I will heat treat before tillering.

BJROGG - I wrapped it fairly tight and ran some super glue along it here and there. Seems pretty solid so far.
