hickory backed maple walnut
« on: March 23, 2011, 06:39:30 pm »
finished one of four i have glued up and cut out . this ones 60 inches tip to tip hickory backed hard maple and black walnut . 1 1/4 at fades and 1/4 at tips . tips narrow slightly more than normal . 47 lbs at 28 inches bout 1 /2 set but i can live with that in a short light package like this. this bow is extremely fast for its weight .

Man, ya get a couple days off, and I'm playin catch-up again. That tiller profile is great....both braced and full draw. That's a very fine bow there Ken. If ya gonna make 'em that fast could ya at least screw one up now and again?: ;D

Another beauty Ken. Those tips are sweet! I bet she whispers when you let the string go.
