Hi mates!!
Itīs time to show all you friends, how this blacklocust bow ended up..!!.:D :D ...
Final speccs:
64,7" ntn (about 65,5" total lenght).
35#@28", not really much but PERFORMS REALLY WELL FOR ITīs specs!!.. 8) ....because retains about 1,5"reflex/back-set after being shooting it...:D ...
It has cero hand shock!!
This is the bow I made for my buddy Felix from Zaragoza (Spain), and he made me a NICE kife and a BEAUTIFULL leather hand guard, that I wear in the pics...:hat ...

Nice indeed. Very thin limbs - gets dicey tillering when there that thin, no room for error.

Nice looking bow! guess I'm going to have to get started on a peice with knots, been kinda avoiding them so far. Hey - I want one of them arm guards ;D
-
Looks great, it sure is nice to have friends you can trade with. Justin

Hey Asier, nice looking bow. Like the video. I have only made one Bk Locust bow and I like it. Plan on making some more. I really like the character in the bow.

thats a nice bow. The scenery in those pictures is amazing
-
I like the bow very much your tiller is right on. I also like the UFO in one of the pics it looks like its coming right at you. Probably thinks you are shooting at it. Trapper
-
Very nice bow, I was wondering when you would finish it up, it looks great.
So....you are from where?
Sean

Great bow and video. I love the tiller and the setting is simply stunning. I would trade you the beach for a grassy flight range like that. Tiller looks great and the details are very nice.

excellent job
-
SWEET BOW!......Brian
-
Well done Asier, another of your expertly made bows.
-
You really did a fine job on that bow! ;) You worked around those knots very nicely, leaving the limb wide where needed...great job on a superb character bow. :)
-
That is one cool bow!!! I'll have to try some of that black locust, it's everywhere around here. SW
-
Sweet bow! I love the knots.... 8)

Wow really like all those knots, really sets that bow off. Tiller looks killer also. Anyone ever tell you that you look like Legalos from Lord of the Rings? Should of been Orlando Bloom's stunt double and done all his trick shots.LOL! ;D
-
Great Bow. Lots of character. Love the scenery too. Gracias
-
You did a great job on a beautiful piece of character locust. I am envious. Locust doesn't like me and I, in turn, don't care much for it. ::) I have built a few successful locust bows but I have screwed up many more! :o Very nice bow! Pat
-
Very nice ,he should like that. :)
