New composite bows I have built. Bamboo backed
« on: April 21, 2010, 12:38:13 pm »
Thought you guys might like some pics to look at. My bows are bamboo backed . I cure it and process it my self. I have my wood cut locally and dried by a friend locally here in P.A. The handles have various hard woods. Most ash walnut and zebra and action wood. The turkish bow is lam osage boo and walnut with curly maple handle.I have broken my share learning to till reflex deflex bows, but some how have managed to master to a degree. The secret is to work the tips to mid limb, then to the handle.If you don't get the limb tips bending first the mid limb and the fade out area will blow.. Hope you enjoy. Denny

Nice pile of bows how about cranking some of them back so we can see their arc :)
