New Bow
« on: March 19, 2013, 11:06:30 pm »
Made another bow last weekend. Came out better than my last one. Osage 63" TTT 61.5" NTN 11/8"at the grip tapered to 1/2"tips. Draws 48lbs@ 30" Still trying to get a feel for this again, its been a lot of years and only minimal expierience then. What do you think?

Looks great to me! But I must ask, are the wraps on the limbs only for aesthetics or do they do anything?

Looks like a nice bend on your bow there.You might have it canted a bit.Like your finish work too.That arrow will be getting every bit of that 30" draw of yours.I like it.

The bends look good and it does have a duded up native look to it. Good job and glad your back in the saddle.   Danny

welcome back to bow making, you have made a nice bow here.

hope you don't mind: compare upper limb and lower limb - I see a difference in the bend. It could be the photo angle or bow is canted. You should check this. If I where you I would make a fd pic of the bow upside down and compare to the posted fd pic.

Again:your bow looks great!

Looks good man.

Just between you and me (and the rest of the internet  :P ), do those wraps cover some kind of limb crack or something or are the just decorative?  ;)

Either way, looking good.

Thanks for the comments. The wraps on the limbs are just decorations, they aren't covering up any hidden flaws. LOL When I mess them up a little material wont hide it! And yes I cant my bows, and it does seem to make the tiller look off. Finished up another bow last weekend. Will try to get some pictures up soon. My photographer (wife) is on strike. at least until the snow melts.
