Thank's guy's. I started this one to give away at the hunters helping kids event that me and nugget went to this past weekend. But ended up making another one for it because this one came out to heavy.
Justin the lams are hickory 1/8" tapered to 1/16" at tips, Ipe center core 5/32" full length, Osage 5/16" tapering to 1/32" 3" from tips, Ipe belly lam is 1/8"at fades. Right at the fades it goes down 1/16" and then the last 8" it is 1/32". I don't have no way to weigh the bow. I do have some maple that I could replace the Osage core with and give that a try..
Ryano I think this was #8 for this month that was finished plus I have been working on a Elm self bow and A Osage self bow and A reverse handle design. The self bows are both recurved and one is going to be sinew backed I'm not sure which one??
Oldbow what is your draw length?? Thank you for the complement on my hound.. Every time the camera comes out she tries to get in the pic..lol..
cowboy. I've got to say it shoots sweet. One of those that you just pic up and the first shot is on the money..Just plain fun to shoot.
here is a pic of the young man that won the other bow that I built for the event. He was a bit small for the bow so I'm building one to fit him next week. I did give away the bow to another young man at the event this past weekend.. So it get a home. every one of the kids was holding on to there raffle ticket like it was the golden ticket in Willy wonkas chocolate factory.
