Little Hunter
« on: August 28, 2007, 02:23:55 pm »
I've been playing with D bows lately (you just gotta love 'em ;)) and finally finished this one up. Hickory D with a sinew back glued with Knox gellatin with walnut stain, linseed finish, and turkey feather wind indicator. It is my new favorite, sweet, quiet, and smooth. It is 1 1/4" at the widest, tapering to 5/8" tips at half pin nocks (they were gonna be side nocks, but it fell on the floor and popped off... I liked it so I just left it :)). It is 5/8" thick at the handle, tapering to 3/8" at the tips. It is about 55# and a really nice shooter, and accurate enough to make it one of my top hunting bows :). And I can't forget to thank Pat for the sinew :)!!

Very nice bow, you've just gone up a notch. Or two.    :)   Looks like a good shooter.

You have been busy the last few days.

These bows are just pouring out of you! Very nice tiller on that one.

Have you made an English warbow yet? I bet you'd do a great job.

Like that one. Tiller appears to be perfect, and the sinew job is slick.

Very cool bow Kegan and excellent tiller. ;) I love these simple bows. I haven't done one with sinew backing but I will have to try one.   Pat
