56 1/2" white oak bendy bow

(1/8) > >>

Pat B:
This is another light weight bow that I made recently. 56 1/2" t/t, 35#@24" She is 1 1/8 at the handle and 3/4" at the tips. Bend through the handle and my first attempt at heat treating the belly of a bow. Because of the thickness of the wood she is a bit sluggish but will be a good bow for a kid to abuse and enjoy. This white oak is from the same tree as my Friendship bow. I had this short piece left so here is what came of it.   Pat

Looks like a durable bow.  At 35# it is only 5# under a big game bow.  Justin

Pat B:
I'm having a blast making these light bows. I'm just gonna hand this one to a kid that doesn't have a bow at one of the shoots I go to this year. It will be more fun watching his(or her) face than building the bow. Thats how I met Tom Brennan and his son Lil Pat. Patrick still has that little osage sapwood "Indian" bow.    We gotta keep passing it on!!! ;)    Pat

Dustybaer:
neat bow, i like it.  how did the heat treating go?  how did the white oak take it?
