Title: A few of my bows (pic heavy)
Post by: bubbles on October 16, 2013, 02:40:21 pm

Hey guys, I don't think I've really posted any of my bows yet, so here are a few.  These I've made just for fun to practice tillering different profiles.   

Rattan backed Maple Pyramid 36#@29" - Zebrawood tip overlays, Red Oak and Bocote  (I think it's bocote, I might be wrong) on the handle.
20.37 oz  - 2 3/4" set on top limb, 2" on bottom, 66" ntn  1 7/8" wide at the fade.

Those are some really nice bows man.  Very clean, very sleek.  Great tillers as well!  Congrats.
