couple made from western wood
« on: July 10, 2011, 04:15:50 pm »
Traded last year at MOJam with Keith F from Washington for these staves - one vine maple one yew. Recently made these bows:

Vine maple 67" 33# @ 28" kingwood tips double shelf deerskin stitched handle. Very easy to shoot with good manners - an all day target bow and great for starting newbees out with good form.

Yew 64" 53# @ 28" with water buffalo tips and boa back. I thinned the sapwood and used the boa like rawhide backing. Double leather rests but did not want to cover the boa with a handle wrap. Sweet and very fast in my favorite hunting weight.

Nice work on both! I'll take one of each ;)

I've never heard of kingwood - the grain looks really good, and the color matches the handle wrap really well.  Two thumbs up here :)

Both bows look great, tiller looks great and looks like they took very little set. Well done!!!
