Hickory Reflex Deflex Character Longbow 56"ntn 16#@24"
« on: March 09, 2025, 03:14:00 pm »
I have been getting to the bottom of the barrel stave wise and this one was no exception.  Somehow it has held together so I finished it up!  Handle is laminated with oak and poplar and bow was finished in steel wool and vinegar.  I picked up some triple thick polyurethane by Varathane and I love this stuff.  It goes on thick and drys relatively quickly.  Despite the name this bow will make a nice bow for a youngster.  Here's are the links the the shorts I made as well:

Nice job on that one, I hope some youngster appreciates it for what it is. Making and giving away kids bows is a great way to give back to archery.
