Been a spell since I have posted a bow, so figured I’d show ya this one. A friend approached me at Mojam last year and handed me a stave and says, ” Here ya go Timo, see what you can make outa this one”! I said “ well … uh…gee..uh …Thanks?” ( I was mumbling under my breath all the way to the truck.
I throwed that stave up on top of all the other unfinished projects and promptly forgot about it. It wasn’t until the blizzard hit us and socked us in for a good spell, that I ever thought about building any bows this year,but as the calling is, I started whittling wood. One afternoon, while I was watching some skins dry, I happened to see this old ugly wood tip sticking out, I grabbed it down and said, “ what the heck”.
Well two days later I had it pretty well whipped.
58” pin nocks/horn overs-52# @ 26”. 5 knot holes go plum through, and there were 4 worm holes all the way through also. I packed them with saw dust and shot them full of super glue. Figured it would be a bit rough in the hand but seems well mannered, and shoots a good arrow. I normally don’t like a real shiny finish but it just seemed to fit this bow, so I left it.
I dubbed this one, ”Trojan horse”
