Locust Flatbow
« on: June 16, 2013, 09:21:31 pm »
I'm working my way up in draw weight. I can actually shoot this one with the two finger draw without problems. It's Black Locust (my second choice in wood) 52# @ 26". 58 inches long with a stiff four inch handle and inch and a half fades. This is the best shooter I've made lately ( six bows in three weeks ). Finished with multiple coats of Danish oil.

Nice work on that locust Jon. Like the front profile and tiller, bet there is some good arrow cast in her as well.

That's a nice looking bow.  Glad your draw weight is coming back up. :D  You are turning out some good ones these days.
