MOLLEGABET style Guava bow
« on: January 29, 2010, 02:29:00 am »
I didn't really have any plans when I started to work on this bow, but the high crown of this sapling dictated a wider flattish belly, a huge edge knot dictated the drastic narrowing of one limb 2/3rds  of the way down, so i decided to make a Mollegabet style bow

it shoots real nice, kept well over 1" of reflex ( multiple deep tempering sessions )

62" ntn, 66 # @ 26" , tryed to keep the tips a bit on the primitive theme since the design of the bow

With a fine osage selfbow, my elkhide quiver filled with cedar arrows fletched with turkey, and with the invitation of the forest, I am about as happy as a man can be.

Glad to see you're making bows again Manny.  I've missed seeing these Guava beauties these past few months... Can't wait to see it drawn.   :)  -josh
