Vine Maple Selfbow. Lumpy
« on: March 10, 2018, 07:01:36 pm »
I just finished finishing this. So now it's mostly finished.

It is vine maple with simple self nocks and the ridges on the back highlighted with some dark walnut stain that was rubbed down with 400 sandpaper to bring out some contrast. 66.5 tip to tip . It is a bit lumpy on the back (hence the name). Grip is jute twine and superglue. rest is a leather flopper. 56@28.  Finished with stain, and 7 coats of danish oil and rubbed down with paste wax.  Shoots great.













Additionally, the temp was about 16 degrees. selfbows work fine in the cold.

Thanks.

I was going to do a build along for this one, but was way more simple to film it all and edit it down into digestible chunks. Nothing is for sale and this video series is as much for my education as everyone else.

Check it out if you like.

That turned out great! and that was a good build along in the videos you made. I bet it shoots well.

That's one of the coolest full draw pics I've ever seen. Both the bend and the scenery.  ;) Very nice! (-S

Tiller looks great! I really like the contrasts with your finish on the back of that bow.

That sure is some amazing scenery you have there :)
