Lovely bow!

I would be interested in knowing what kind of epoxy or glue you use to adhere the wood into the metal takedown sleeves?

I've used "UHU endfest 300" in this case (open time about 2 hours), but I think every good epoxi will work. It's more on preparing the surface, degreasing carefully and rough surface.

Very nice Simon. What are the black rings at the handle made of?

Just a piece of leather lacing, to hide the metal sleeves. When put together you cannot see it's a td (ignoring the mass).

Another awesome bow Simon! Nice to see those five curves, not many people make those. You got this bow working to the max at fulldraw too, string is almost 90 degrees. Great bow! Oh love that is is kinda snakey as well (AT)

I found a liking on the 5 curves lately, the side profiles are eyecandy. If I remember right I haven't made this design for years.

This one is brought to the limits - you're right, will not draw this bow further. The snakiness is an accident, I hadn't another billet handy.



THANKS everybody for commenting!

awesome as always!  Any way to compare the ridged belly to a hollow belly?

Bob, this is an interesting question.
But to compare we should have  the same design, same wood, same length, same weight. Whenever I get the chance, I will do for sure.
Btw. I had hundreds of osage staves in my hands, but never found the perfect for HLD. I continue searching ...

thanks for the reply... I was thinking that HLD might be good for a high crown sapling osage bow...?

Yes a high crowned sapling is needed. But we also need it free of knots (very high stressed design) and most important the crown must be continous all along the entire length!

Heidi Klum's curves don't look that nice!  Well . . . it's close anyway!  Nicely done as always!

It looks like a very fast bow for the drawweight.
