My first post and my first Bow
« on: March 08, 2011, 05:24:22 pm »


Hello to you all

this is my first post and my first bow

I'm quite pleased with it, mainly I am pleased it didn't explode into a trillion pieces and fill my face with splinters - i can see that the tiller is not as even as i would have liked but the next one will be better

bow is white Oak, 75" long and only draws 30 lb

after seeing all the bows you guys have made and especially some of the BOM i think need to aim higher!

you can either click on the "additional options" tab underneath the box you type replies in and then click "browse" to find them on your computer.  Photos posted this way need to be 200kb or smaller though or it won't let them through.  Or you can go to Photobucket dot com and register for an account, upload your photos there and post them using the "img"code it gives you.  Just place the code(s) directly in the message box that you type your message in.  Hope this doesn't confuse you, LOL.  Welcome to PA by the way!   :)

Bowmakers are a little bent, but knappers are just plain flaky.
