Black Walnut Reflex Deflex
« on: February 24, 2019, 02:58:31 pm »
This was a straight-grained bl. walnut that I heat-treated . Overlays and arrow pass are deer antler. I've always kept bl. walnut in the 30's but with the tempering I found it shoots comfortably at #42. It's seems to be a  particularly light specimen with fat growth rings. 65" ntn.   
Positive tiller.

Looks great!  and I love a black walnut bow! Light, lower vibration than normal and quick. Plus it smells good while working.
