Title: Hickory Flatbow.
Post by: swamp yeti on December 31, 2010, 04:58:18 pm

                 Just got finished making a hickory flatbow from a stave that had been laying around a while.The bow had a little bit of character to it dips and lines on the back,insect markings,and some cambrium.The bo is 66 inches tip to tip,inch and a half at the wdest and narrows down to haf inch at the tips.The bow is 60# at 26 inches and after about 80 shot a half an inch of string follow.
