GUAVA short bow, with a little caracter ...retired from BOM
« on: May 20, 2008, 07:39:42 am »
This bow almost got trown in the fire pile several times, I'm glad I didn't because it came out fantastic.

She had original deflex, and I never tried reflexing because i didn't want to push it, she took allmost no set, and the follow is only on the outher limbs, the inner limbs that are where most of the work is are strait with the handle.

60" ntn, 60 # @ 27", assymetrical limbs with 3/16" positive, Ipe overlays and TRU OIL finish.

as I said before, maybe not the best bowwood, but so tought and forgiving, and such a beautifull wood, Here a sneak peak

Come on Manny, that's not nice to only show us bits and pieces without a full spread. Didn't know you were a bow tease! ;D

With what I've seen so far, what I guess is some heart wood on the belly looks sweet! ;)

Wow!  In any endeavor, there are those who can be considered craftsmen and those who are artisans.  You, my friend, are an artisan!

Simply wonderful!  Wonderfully simple!

Simply fantastic! But what's that straight stick doing in there? It should know that we like the curves ;)!

 Manny you are the MAN. ;D  Those worm holes add even more character to an incredible character bow. Great job on the tiller can't wait to see the full draw. the color in that bow is absolutely stunning.   Congratulations on a feat that few could have pulled off.  Keenan
