Looks great all finished up Slimbob really like that handle wrap. Sounds like you had a good weekend of bow building and it's great that
you turned your friend onto hackberry as a bow wood. Made a few from hackberry myself and also think it is good bow wood. Nice work
on your bow.

All right Slim,,,,,,,,,,,, I'm tacking this on to your thread. I know,,,,,,,,,, my bows are not the show pieces that yours are, but they are not supposed to be (a built in excuse). They are just a couple of simple plains style self bows. These two hackberry bows came out of the same stave. They are 48 inches long, and pull about 45 pounds at 24 inches. Each has a double nock on the lower limb, and single nock on the upper. These were easy to build in comparison to the bois d arc that I usually use.

Very cool Curt.  Tolja Hackberry was good bow wood.  I like the paint.  Looks like red ocher on one and some kinda green pigment on the other.  Show pieces, mine???  Have you seen some of the bows on this forum?  I'm always playing from behind.  Glad you finished 'em, enjoyed helpin'.
