Title: bow #3 short hicory
Post by: ken75 on February 08, 2010, 04:38:16 pm

ok been a while but its finally done this is a hicory bow from hand split stave, edge grained . 56 in tip to tip , 54 in nock to nock. 2 1/2 wide at the fade , tapers to 1/4 in nocks , tapers the last ten inches. tillering was a booger because of the wide limbs but worth it. bow has about 1in of set string follow or whatever you call it . here are some pics ... oh yeah did a lil paint and body work on it. almost forgot 58lbs at 27in
