having been mostly compleated, the silk backed holmgard i've been working on has come out underweight, soooo.... i have decided to build a a smaller holmgard bow to turn it into a penobscot. i know this is mixing disciplines, but i have a feeling they will mix well! i have built 1 penobscot, for similar reasons, and have been looking for a reason to do another one, so this will be it. the existing bow is hickory from a tree that i cut several years ago, as will be the back-bow. this will be an interesting try form the back bow, however, because i will have to chase a ring on it due to insects chewing up the wood under the bark. i let it cure with the bark on, not realizing this could happen! now wiser and older, i' looking forward to getting to work, and posting pictures along the way
