Hackberry Hammer II
« on: April 27, 2010, 10:23:41 pm »
This is a hackberry longbow. 64" NTN 46# @ 27"  I wanted this bow to look old, like drift wood. I stained it with walnut stain then sanded portions of it and re-stained. I finished it with tru-oil. It shoots like a dream - really a fast bow and smooth shooting.

 SWEET, Jimmy! I like that profile and that overlay looks pretty cool.

Great looking bow Jimmy. I just wish you guys would quit posting pics with all that bow wood in the background. It makes me want to go cut down the whole forest.  ;D

0209 - I enlisted in 1986 and was commissioned in 91' so 24 total with 19 of that being an officer. Seems like I began this journey only yesterday.  All I ever wanted to do was teach high school history but the good Lord saw fit to let me play Army in the interim - 24 years later I'm still playing.

Awesome job on that bow, Jimmy.  That's about where the weight ended up on the one I made and I really enjoy it.  Mine has lifted a splinter though on the back, so I superglued it and am thinking I'll do a layer over the top of some cloth.  We'll see.
I really like the profile and the beat up look.  Very nice.  Hope it brings you luck!

That sure is one high speed, low drag bow you made there, airborne. Very nice.

Looks like a well made and powerful weapon to me. Bookmarked for BOM, too.
