Buckthorn bow giveaway
« on: August 25, 2012, 12:08:36 pm »
 Hey guys,
                    Here is a bow I built for a friend on the forum. I posted a picture of it a while back asking for advice about some tiny chrysals that apeared around a hole on the top limb. I shot it a bunch since then and they dont appear to be getting any bigger, so I have to believe that it wont be a problem in the future. I was absolutely blown away by this piece of buckthorn!!!! It barely lost any of its reflex during tillering and shoot in. I just have a few more minor cosmetic thing s to do. She's 58#@ 25".  Hope the recipient likes it.

Man Cody your buckthorn bows are nice. You got a great looking bow out of what looks to have been real knarly piece of wood before you
went to work on it. Bet it's a real shooter too. Really nice work!
I have 5 buckthorn stave splits, bark on, in my shop since January that I keep looking at afraid to tackle. A couple are roller coaster backs
and a few are just plain knarly and I'm not sure I'm up to the challenge. Takes me long enough to make a bow from much cleaner wood
that I'm already familiar with. In the mean time I'll just keep looking at yours for inspiration. Thanks for posting your great bows.

Like it?  I love it!  Be sure to spell my name right on the shipping label, my mailman is a little touchy about those things!    >:D

You could give Master Level Classes on final finishing, Cody!

Thanks everyone for the comments. @ Hawk, I wear a particle respirator while working with this wood. Some people seem to get skin reactions also, glad I dont, I really love working this wood. I'm going to all the forest preserves in our area and cutting all the useable pieces. I plan on bringing a bunch down to the classic next year.
