Ash selfbow..44lbs @ 28"
« on: March 16, 2014, 09:43:49 am »
Hello again..bussy bussy this days..this is an ash flatbow, with a little bit of character in it..again, the wood had some deflex in the handle area, and also a big knot in one of the limbs, but if turned out o in the end, becose when i started tillering the bow, the knot had dissapeard..there is still a visibile bump there but its fine..the overlays are walnut, and i decided to leave that  hole in the handle..it looks really nice, and it gives personality to the bow...

Thanks alot..im glad u like it...i actually like that stuff on the handle..hmmm, somehow the bow looks unfinished without a leather wraping on the handle, but on the other hand, i like that knot in the handle..it looks funny somehow..i wass thinking to leave it like this..what would you guys do??

Nice Bow! I like the knot if it's not messing up the grip. Just my 2 cents
