Black Walnut
« on: March 24, 2010, 05:55:12 pm »
Here is one i just finshed up. I cut the tree last summer. This one is all sap wood. Very smooth to draw and shoot.






All in all, i'm happy with the way this one turned out !

Nice!  Are you going to try and make a all heartwood bow or a heart/sap wood bow?

Nice looking bow.  Walnut is a very cool wood, did your hands turn purple working on it?  Greg

Thanks guys ! I know it's not the best "money" shot  ::) I'll try and take one from the front deck tonight.

Pennhawk, yes it can be shot from either side.

Greg, no my hands didn't purple from working it, i ruffed this one out to floor tiller while it was still green then clamped it to my form for about a month, that worked pretty good.  :)

Jeff, i'm going to try an all heart wood one, to much sap wod for a sap/heart wood combo, and i'm not going to try and chase a ring of this sap wood.  :o
