Yewinforced Rowan Static 62" / 35# @ 28"
« on: October 21, 2018, 06:59:58 am »
Hi Folks

After 22 strokes from the top limb this one is ready for presentation.

Yesterday I shot her plenty and measured draw weight. Shoots nice but the draw weight was a little dissapointing. For the next bows I now ordered a new measuring device and maybe I should also subscribe at the gym.... 8)

Thank you Simson, Mo_coon-catcher, Louie, High-Desert, backtothewood, GaryL, bjrogg, upstatebowyer, Danzn Bar,  240m3srt , halfeye, Weylin, Jakesnyder, M2A, Steve T, loefflerchuck, kamil 2910 - whom I might forgot for presenting your bows and providing great inspiration.

Cheers from Switzerland, Simon

Beautiful bow, Simk. What is the draw weight?
 I love the background, too. The barn(?) looks very old and the hinges are special, at least to me.

Thanx Guys!!!!!

Pat: - Draw weight is 35# - the barn is about 300 years old and contents our living room (-; the wood is sun burnt spruce, i think it was renewed 120 years ago but the hinges probably are same age as the house.

DC: As I bent the recurves the rowan splintered so I had to reinforce them with yew under/over(?)lays

Cheers

Very nice bow. I tried a static as my 9th bow build and one hook didn't hold up. So i told myself make a few more straight or reflexed ones and than try again.
When i see yours I've got pins and needles in my fingers
Nice Barn and restauration. I love seeing old things getting a new use!
