Title: elm willow leaf/molly
Post by: bushboy on November 06, 2016, 11:36:13 am
Been messing with this design a bit and it seems to hold it's profile well.my plan was a D section at the handle,flaring out to a flat bow at the mids and down to narrow levers.my cousin Chery showed interest in a bow so this is what I came up with.55ttt,34#@24",finish,black and scarlet rit dye,horse leather handle,c/w beaver accents an ebony tips.thx's for looking!bush!

Real nice bow Rob. I like the design and your execution looks right on. Looking good on the full draw and sharp finish work.
Your cuz will be happy to own that bow.

Pretty sure that the 10 year old me would've exploded in joy if given such a bow.. I had made someone cut me a piece of bamboo for making a bow and then found I couldn't shape it with a hacksaw
