new bow maker.
« on: June 05, 2007, 09:48:09 pm »
Hello to all I am a new member here and new bowyer. I have been shooting traditional equipment for several years and was tired of shooting someone else's stuff. So I took the step and I love making my own bows . now I want to do everything as primitive as possible.I try to hand make as much of the bow as possible. I still cheat a little with a band saw . SORRY But now to the meat of this story. Here for your approval is my latest creation. A black locust bow. 70" 60# @ 28"
The stain was a mistake but it turned out pretty cool I think. I have shot it a bunch and it is sweet!

Looks pretty good.  How about a full draw picture so we can see the tiller.  Justin

If you can make a successful bow with black locust , you are a true bowyer in my opinion. ;)
I can't!..well almost can't.   Nice looking bows. Now that we know you are out there we expect lots more bows from you. ;D   Welcome Nugget. Any friend of Boo is a friend of ours.    Pat
