ash flatbow
« on: September 03, 2010, 02:29:06 pm »
here is an ash flatbow I just finished,its 63" NTN and pulls 50#@26" (I tillered it to 28" but my draw is 26" and my luggage scale only goes up to 50).the limbs are 1 1/2" wide at fades and taper down to a 1/2" at the nocks.the nock overlay is brazilian rosewood.
thanks for looking.

Georgous bow and u got my vote !  I like the paint scheme as well!  Nice crisp clean lines too!

Sorry, but I always have to ask this question - how big was the log you got this out of? Did you de-crown or did the stave already have a flat back?

Thanks and killer bow!

cp : the bow was started out from a split log about 4-6" in diameter.I got 2 good sized splits and 2 not very good ones which went in the fire.the sraight section of the log wasnt much longer than the bow finished out at.
