Title: Timber Rattler Guava Longbow.. Braced and Full draw pics
Post by: NOMADIC PIRATE on February 13, 2016, 05:24:19 pm

Just finished the Tung Oil coating on this bow.

The wood came out beautiful ( so hard to get pictures to really show )

Paduk overlays always look good

The color of the skins is really matching the wood nicely

Will get the grip on sometimes today than I'll take the full spectrum of obligatory pictures  ;D ;D ;D

the Bow has equal length limbs


.......Now, when you'll look at the braced and full draw pictures you'll need to take in consideration that the upper limb is straight and the lower limb starts reflexed than turns at mid limb.

Great looking bow.  Timber rattlers are one of my favorite skins.

That came out great manny.  I like the simplicity of the handle...looks comfy.  That guava is some gorgeous wood.

where did you find guava... it grows here in south florida but for the life of me i can't find any that i won't get shot trying to harvest... *(sad face)

Title: Re: Timber Rattler Guava Longbow
Post by: NOMADIC PIRATE on February 13, 2016, 08:12:20 pm

This one is strawberry guava not the common yellow.

Guava wants to grow like a bush so to get decent bowwood you need to go into deep dark valleys where the trees will grow strait and tall because they're looking for light

Post by: Badly Bent on February 13, 2016, 08:34:34 pm

Real nice looking bow and that is some pretty looking wood. I've never held guava in my hand but from the pics. it just looks like a dense wood, is it?

I like the texture the hemp has after it's been soaked with watered down Titebond III




The wood looks rich and deep

Here is looking down the lower than upper limb, this will help make more sense of the braced and full draw pictures

Here's the braced/full draw pictures.

the bow has a sligth negative tiller since it's equal length limbs, but less negative than if limbs had equal profile,...just a touch of negative  ;D ;D
