Saying hello with bow pic
« on: May 03, 2010, 10:38:20 pm »
Been lurking for a while and have enjoyed the sight. I finished a bow today and thought I would see if I could post a few pics.

that looks like a nicely made bow, and I agree the tiller looks especially  well balanced

Beautiful bow. Your full draw looks perfect. How wide is your bow at the handle? Dean

The bow is 1 1/4" at the handle. I left it a little long to help with it being narrow. This is my first stave bow and only my third bow. The other two were red oak board bows. I think this maybe habit forming.

Beautiful bow.  I've tried shooting with several different styles of bows but a simple, bend through the handle D-bow is still my favorite.
