hello (plust a photo of one of my new bows)
« on: March 03, 2012, 06:29:29 pm »
Hello,

Just thought I would post a hello message since I am new to the group here, and thought I should put a photo of some of my work with it in the spirit of sharing.  Anyway, here is my current favorite bow.  It is pau amarillo with an ash backing.  Shoots wonderful and fast, at around 70 pounds at 28 inches.

Anyway, I look forward to checking out everyones posts.

Thanks.

Jamie

From the braced pic it looks like a very nice bow. Before anyone yells at you maybe you should put up a full draw pic!  ;)

Thanks for the nice comments everyone.  look forward to many happy posts.  Should have joined a long time ago.  I was a subscriber to the magazine from the first issue.  Great to see so many people with the same obsessions as me.

Hi Jamie. Is that a d-section, or flat bow?

d section or flat?  it is sort of in between.  In my younger years I made longbows with pretty high arches, but they have flattened out over the years.
