WBM Molg.
« on: January 04, 2011, 05:47:00 pm »
 This is a Walnut backed Hard Maple. 46# @ 26" 58"n2n. 1.75" at the fades.13" working limbs and 13" levers. lever taper from 1/2" to 3/8" Handle is 1.25" thick and 1" wide.

  halfeye sent me the roughed out blank along with another molg self bow and a  Walnut backed pyramid. Going to start on the pyramid next. What a Christmas present ;D Rich said it was'nt, but I still had to wait till Christmas to open it. >:( Daughters orders ::) :D That's the last time I make her wait to open something she already knew she was getting ;) If she gets home b4 dark I'll get the full draw pics. Shot about 50 arrows through it this afternoon. I still have the finish to put on it and a handle wrap. Going to try mink oil for the finish.



 Sorry for the poor quality of the pic, but only having the phone photo at night don't work good I can try and get better tomorrow

Walnut backed maple? I probably would've done it the other way around, but the proof of the pudding...

   NICE           I know people get into building bows for different reasons. But I'm with BILL. Bows a surposed to be hunted (used) with. Just not looked at. How else would you know if it's going to last more than 100 arrows. That was shot in it after tillering it. If it last then it's a bow.
   I'm not saying your like this or if this matters to anybody but me. I just know people build one bow after another shoot it a few times and move to the next bow.

I hope to get some latter today out in the sun 8)

crooketarrow...I've built a few in the last year, and as you said, a couple have been close together. But. I do turn the flood lights on and shoot each one alot more than a hundred arrows. I go to a friends and shoot flu-flus at flying disc and walk through the wood shooting at foam targets. This one will have well over 100 arrows shot befor saturday afternoon. But I understand what you're saying. I don't particularly want one to come apart and smack me in the head :'( or any one ealse that might want to shoot it.

Beautiful looking profile.  Interesting wood combination.  I'll bet that's a good shooter.

  It sure means a lot to get these kind of complaments comming from y'all. I had been wanting to make a molg. On my last (and first) try I ended up with a hybrid holm/molg. This one Rich sent me with the profile cut already. All I had to do was tiller it out. I love the design and the way it draws.  I'm looking forward to the next one ;D

 half eye....Thanks you very much for the opportunity to make this one. It's going meat hunting this weekend ;) ;D

 Dave...Thank you...I'll be bringing it to the Spring Fling so you can shoot it  ;)

 ken and Parnell..Thank you..The wood combo was Rich's idea. Great idea ;D

 ohma...That's one thing about this  traditional community. NEVER have I seen a better group of people!!!!!!!
