New Bow
« on: July 25, 2009, 06:04:06 pm »
    OK fellers, Heres my newest bow. Her name is "Hazel".  She is 70" Tip to Tip...68" Knock to Knock. 50# @ 28". She is a copy of Gordon Fertlitsch's build a long, here on this site. She is a little longer than his bow, and I am not the Craftsman that Gordon is, but she Ain't bad. My Thanks to Gordon fer takin the time to document and post his build-a-long. It is quite in depth. I also gotta Thank Joe Klink who helped me procure the piece of Hazelnut to work with.

Thanks fer the nice compliments. Its a lot of First fer me. First Self bow that didn't fail, First Hazelnut I ever tried, First time I ever Heat Treated a bow, First time I ever steamed a bow and straightened the limbs so the string hit in the middle of the handle. And the First time I ever put any snake skins on a bow. Gordon's plans took me through all that and more. She shoots well, with only a slight bit of hand shock. I noticed it the first time I shot er, but don't notice it now.

Not at all. Glad ya helped me out. Sorry bout that Radius. I posted a pic direct, the other day. Tried to post em all, but got an error that I had a limit on size. Didn't figure it out so just went the only other route I knew. A computer nerd I ain't. I only started foolin with em a few years ago. Never saw a computer when I went to school.  Again, Thanks fer the help El Destructo. Thanks fer the compliments too!!!!
