One and done
« on: December 31, 2019, 04:55:02 pm »
Sadly, this is the only bow I managed to finish this year. Hickory, 67" ttt, about 45# at 27" (that's as far as I can pull anymore ). I decided to leave it rough looking and plan on adding a jute string handle wrap. String follow is  only about half an inch, which is pretty good for me.

Happy bow making in 2020!

Looks good from here. I'm in the same boat as you. Just haven't made many bows lately.

If that's the one, then that's also the best bow you made all year!

And from the looks of it, it deserved the title. She's a good'un.

Thanks for the positive comments guys.

JW_, I never thought of it that way. Guess I should raise my goal to two shooters this year :).
