a few bows

[Grunt]

Here are a few bows I've built over the past couple of weeks. the one closest to the stove pipe is a hickory backed hickory that is 66 tip to tip and pulls 52# at 28 inches.Next is a lighting struck wild cherry that is 60 inches tip to tip and pulls 42# at 26 inches. The tips are flipped and belly is toasted. The next is a linen canvas backed red oak board bow that is 68 inches and pulls 54# at 28inches. The last is a a BBI that draws in the mid fifty's.

How does the linen/oak combo perform? Pretty available materials for sure.

I've built a good number of linen canvas backed red oak board bows. Good combo, just make sure you got a good straight grained board and you break the bow in slowly.

You have been reaally really buzy, takes me years it seems like just to make one. Congratulations and good work.    Kenneth
