Nr. 2
« on: April 21, 2018, 02:28:29 pm »
Hi Folks

Last autumn I built 2 very similar bows - the Goldeneye Twins. With these I learnt a lot about length of bows, width of bows, stacking of bows @ set of bows. They both took set like bananas. Now I refined Nr. 2 by heat treating with stunning results; it‘s a quick bow now with a 5 strand B452X racing string  :BB

It‘s 61“ and pulls 43 @ 25“ - Wood ist rowan @ it weighs 398 gramms.

for presenting your bows and providing daily inspiration.   

Cheers

That's sharp. Strike plate in particular. Heat treating really makes a difference, but it is my least favorite thing to do in bow making.
