Buckthorn Bombshell
« on: February 12, 2013, 07:12:54 pm »
So many things to say about this bow and the wood used. First off thanks Cody (Misslemaster) my friend for a lovely piece of wood. This is the most photogenic bow I have ever made. Hence the pile of pics to follow. This bow feels, draws and shoots like yew. Its even very light in physical weight. It works like no other wood Ive used, very unique and very easy to keep tools where you want them. I used all hand tools and no pencils, "Twisted Limbs style" if you will. A drawknife, my beloved Shinto and a handemade scraper is all I used from stave to shooting. It was pure joy and easy on the arms. This bow is 61" ntn, 50 @ 26", 1 1/4" wide and the tips are water buffalo horn. The limb with the kink and hole is the upper. Its also the wavey limb in the side views. Its a complete pleasure for me to stare at, fondle, and of course shoot. I love buckthorn, look out HHB! Somebody is on your butt for second place on my list! Enjoy the pics and any and all comments welcome. Thanks for peeking, and thanks again Cody for such a great chunk of wood.

I couldnt stop thinking about Gordon the whole build, no, Im not stalking you Gordon. I just admire your bows a great deal and this one just looked like one you would build right from the start. It motivated me. I just noticed my crap finish job on the upper overlay, you can see a line of glue.....stinkin' camera's anyway!

When I obsess about minute superglkue lines at my tips people call me crazy. I understand man. ;)

Bang up bow nonetheless.

That's a truly beautiful bow.  That heart wood is gorgeous!!!  It appears to be holding some reflex very well too...

You kept most of the cambium on, or is that stain?
