That is a very nice looking bow. Do you bend the limbs with dry heat or steam them?
And is 12mm the thickness of the static tip portion of the limbs? I would really like to do this to my next black locust bow. Thanks for sharing.

  • If the wood will bend, I'll make it beautiful!

I really like this one. Withe the length and the great tiller job that one would for sure pull to 28in.

Building a bow has been the most rewarding, peaceful, and frustrating things I have ever made with my own two hands!
