Padauk Longbow
« on: October 03, 2010, 09:03:42 pm »
Started this bow last week and finished shooting it in today. It's lam-boo backed padauk with wenge and purpleheart overlays. It took 5/8" set and about 3/16" follow which comes back in  20 minutes or so. It's got a hint of stack starting just past 28 inches but it's real quiet and has decent speed.

Unstrung - 72 3/4" o/a, 70 1/2 ntn, 1-3/16" wide
70#@30"

Thanks for looking,
Bruce

Very nice bow.  The small pieces of Padauk I have are so brittle that I wouldn't have thought it would make a bow.  It also has a very nice smell when you work the wood.
