110lb tri-lam
« on: April 07, 2012, 05:23:40 pm »
Hi there everyone,
Have not as of yet posted anything to Primitive Archer so I thought this would be a good way to start. I have just finished my first tri-lam English warbow (ipe/purpleheart/hickory) she's 76"n2n 80" overall and 110lbs@32". The tiller isn't perfect as it still bends a bit too much in the centre and not enough in the limbs. But I was quite pleased with its performance. EWBS Livery arrows were dropping about 210-220 yards. I have enjoyed The process very much and have already started another for me mate Andre (same guy in the video) of about 90-100lbs @32. I have learned much from this bow, and will put all I have learned into this new bow. Already got 5 Ironwood staves dried laying in wait for after ;D. Don't have any tiller pictures with me at the moment so the video will have to do for now!
Cheers!
-Jake

as i said before, beautiful, and i don't think it bends to much in the center
cant wait to see your other bows
warbows and fishing, what else is there to do?
modern technology only takes you so far, remove electricity and then what

I think your tiller looks fine. It's definitely bending full compass, and that's perfect for a heavy warbow. Nice rolling loose technique, as well.

Many thanks doulosparachristos! Well for the bow I was describing to Noel that I'm working on now, my buddy wanted me to take pictures through the process, so once completed I could post them in order, might be a neat idea! cheers!

Like I said before Jake you have done very well there. It's a long process but I don't have any doubt you will be making some very fine bows in the furture.
ALways happy to help anyone get into heavy weight archery: https://www.facebook.com/bostonwarbowsbows/

Dude, That's amazing. Are those 110 metric pounds though? I can barely pull a 45# bow and I'm 6-0 and 210#. I must be some sort of weakling.

Thanks man! Appreciate that! Uh imperial pounds, I have never heard of a metric pound? Standard for measuring bow poundage! Cheers!
