Title: Black Locust Sapling
Post by: Grunt on March 03, 2012, 05:27:30 pm

Haven't posted in a while but have been building bows. this one is BL made from a three inch diameter sapling. It is 66" tip to tip. 60# at 28" I may heat treat but it shoots nice the way it is

Looks Great! That's my favorite type of bow right there... Just needs a handle wrap and natural finish...  ;D ;D ;D

Borrowed the flat black background on my tree from Gordon. Really makes the limbs easy to read.
