Few sneak pics before she leaves me for her new owner :( Another cherry
« on: February 06, 2012, 10:35:30 am »
Hi all,

Title says it all. This is yet another cherry bow and once again its lovely wood to work, well besides my reaction to the stuff but thats what a mask if for!
Its 58.5 ntn, nearer 50lbs than 45 (scales are pants) @ 28. Silk backed for 3/4 limb and antler overlays. Heat treated light recurves and a little belly temper whilst flat. Takes about 3/4 inch of set, slightly more in the top limb which was naturaly deflexed to start. Veg-tan leather grip.

I only have an FD from the tiller board but will take another when i can get somone to hold the cam for me.

This like all my bows is hand tools only from tree to finished bow, two reasons, i dont have any power tools and the noise and dust just dont agree with me :)








Thanks for looking all :)

That is a clasic looking beauty. very nice finish work. love the grip and the ttips seem to blend right in to the natural cherry.
