Cascara flatbow skinned
« on: July 27, 2012, 11:41:45 pm »
Here is a Cascara flatbow 68 inches NTN 1 3/4 wide.. I lumberized this wood (decrowned) backed with silk, and added the snake skins. Tip overlays are Pacific dogwood, the handle build up is Dogwood as well.

Great looking bow, Brian. I really liked working that Cascara you sent me. It's almost like working Yew.

Brian, that is a great looking bow. The arch is pure beauty. I've come to really like Cascara and agree with Eddie that it works allot like yew. Seems a bit touching when heat treating but sure is nice to scrape.
 Again very nice bow!

Smooth lines on that full draw, looks like it would pull real comfortably. Good looking bow too, nice work.
