New guy saying Hello
« on: January 11, 2015, 07:24:40 pm »
Well I finally signed up I've been a lurker for at least a year. I live in Florida some bow wood but not what I hear about on here.  I started out slow. Made a couple that blew up at 20 inches (was erc in my defense). So then I just read every book I could find about primitive archery. Slowly I made two shooter but not I was trying for all low weight. Ones a 65 long bow shape  30lbs ish didn't put a finish on it because I never thought it would last. I am currently working on a 68 mulberry stiff handle I was trying 50lbs plus. I think that I will be shy a bit. I was thinking about heat treat but wanted to see what you think about heat treating wood it's all sapwood very thick rings feels good though. A lot  of deflex  though most natural  I think but I could have put some in bending it when it was wet in the middle still. Went to put the handle in a noticed it was wet still inside. Let me know what u think about the tiller. It won't let me post a picture I'll will when I figure it out.

Thanks duke I'm about 45 minutes west of Tampa. I'd like this one to be at least fifty pounds.  After that I just wanna continue making as many as I can. I haven't figured out how to post pic's  I think I have to take them again at a lower mega pixel.
