Thanks Coaster, seems I can hardly build a bow without having to sinew wrap an issue somewhere.
Thanks PD

Thanks Okie, I like many woods but black locust and osage are both very close to my heart.

Very nice BB. Tiller looks spot on.  Good lookin' finish work as well!  I've yet to make one from Black Locust, but a buddy of mine in Kansas is sending me a stave.  I will look at this one for inspiration once I get started on it.

Very nice...you get alot of bend in that one...it being BL and all:-).

I like the design, its so radically different from my work....is it bending at all in the handle?

I have just gone though my my wood pile and found a nice, short piece of laburnum (58"), not quite dry yet, but I think ill go for a copy of this bow:-)

Cheers

Thanks Dwardo, I'll give up two more pics at your request just to show how nice the grain of black locust looks. These are pics of the belly side, locust sure is pretty.
