another elm bow
« on: December 06, 2014, 03:55:07 pm »
Made this one last summer as a possible trade bow.the stave had some character with reflexes and deflexes. I managed to heat most of the out ,but the deflex over the handle came back.oh well shoots fine, gonna give it to a buddy.simple side nocks 63"ntn, around 50@ 27" horse hide handle wrap and a rosewood arrow rest.the arrow pass is 1/2" above center because that's what felt right.i guess that makes the lower limb shorter

Looks like a killer to me. And I dig the "that's what felt right" My bows are built around that concept.

Nice bow!  The tiller looks outstanding!  I like the contrast with the colors you chose for the handle and color of the bow too.
