Title: Benedikts blacklocust bow "celan", 54#@28"
Post by: Benedikt on July 11, 2014, 01:27:17 pm

Hey Guys!  :)
This is another bow i've just finished a few days ago.

Data:
Lenght: 64 1/2"
Drawweight: 54#@28"
Weight: exactly 1#

Its a black locust bow with one ring sapwood on the back. I have to say i love the contrast between the withe sapwood an the orange-brown heartwood.

The bow is shooting very fast, and the drawweight fits perfect to me.
Theres also a german buildalong to this bow:

If anybody wants, i could translate it for you guys ;)

But enogh talking, here are the pictures :)
I hope you enjoy ;D

Good grief, man.  I have tshirts older than you!  And I seriously doubt I have made a bow that could match that one!

Very good finish work, just a beauty to look at.  Thanks for sharing, Benedikt!

Indeed, celan is very clean   ;D
Love the overlays, nice touch.
Nice hole, I had JW send me over a bunch of holes, we don't get 'em that big or clean in the UK  ;)
