Red Oak Pyramid
« on: February 01, 2013, 11:17:37 am »
68” 66 NTN Red Oak un-backed board bow.
45lbs @ 28”

This was an 8’ 1” x 3” board with very straight grain. I neglected to take a picture of the board. It is 2.5” at the fades and tapers to 3/8” at the nocks.
Tip overlays and handle are red oak and glued with TBIII.







Money shot


Constructive criticism welcome

Great tiller Keith.

Very nicely done! I can't find a thing wrong with it. Excellent taper profile, light tips, very little set, very good tiller, nice brace profile. A super looking bow!
