Title: New Bow - Hazel for Janet
Post by: Badly Bent on December 30, 2012, 07:15:32 pm

Heres one I just finished for our friend Janet. As you'll see from the pics, Janet loves her bow. 30# @ 23", 58" ntn from a hazel pole of about 1 1/2" diameter. Stain accents from walnut hull stain with spar varnish finish. Little wiggly character in the bow .... as well as in
the new owner.

That is cool.  I'm going to conduct an experiment to see if there is direct correlation between the wiggliness of the stave and the wiggliness of the recipient  :D

Nothin' like makin' a shooter to get that last one that wouldn't off your mind.  Nice one Greg.

Thanks for the comments duck,spyder, chad,danny,jon medicinewheel,bob & slim.
It's just a simple, low draw weight, sapling bow that was fun to make for someone who wanted a bow. As you can see from the video
and pictures she really enjoys it and thats what makes this hobby fun for me. This bow will be shot by her whenever she has a chance
and that also makes this worthwhile.

She looks hot.  I mean it.  What with the bibs, the coat and the hat, she must have been stifling hot in all that gear!  At least she has a sense of humor.  And a nice bow.  She definitely has both.
