Title: two wytch elm warbows
Post by: nidrinr on May 14, 2011, 11:45:34 pm

Thought I'd post them here aswell, even though they're already on PP and the Norwegian "bueforum".
The snaky one is about 210#@32", the straight one is about 145#@32.

Wow! You never fail to impress Nidrinr! I particularly like the antler nocks :) Do you ever have issues with antler being to spongy/not very dense? Do you find antler from a certain animal works better? e.g. moose, elk, deer?

Unbraced the 145#'er is more or less straight.  The other one:

Full draw of the 145#'er is on the yt-link above. For the full draw of the heavy one we'll just have to wait for Joe or someone posting a yt of him pulling it ..  :)

Really like the snakey bow. The bit of heartwood on the bottom gives it a nice touch! Such weight and from a snakey stave! Your work and "warbowyery" always inspires me man.

just 2 questions,
1) are those side knocks
2) if the answer to 1 is yes, is it legal to marry a bow ;D

-They started out as sidenocks, but I ended up filing it up a bit further. -Joe has made some changing of the nocks as one of them got a little injury somewhere from my place to his.

Here is the full draw  asked for:
