Well I thjnk Ive got a second bow made to put into the drawing pot at the end. I intended it for a guy for a wall hanger where he wanted a dark bow to match the wood work. But this one wasn't quite right. He kept saying he wants cherry, so I guess I'll make a chery bow, darken it with stain or charcoal, take it to brace and write do not draw on it. So that means this fumed black locust bow drawing 65# at 28" goes in the pot. It's 60" nock to nock flexing in the handle. 1 3/4" wide from fade to mid limb then dropping to 3/8" single side nock. I heat treated in about 1" reflex from midlimb out. It took about 1.5" set resulting in 1/2" string follow and a deflex/reflex profile. Where half the set was from inner limb deflexing and half was from the induced reflex pulling out a bit. The fumed color is a dark grey/green color. It was fumed for 2.5 days and finished with beeswax/deer tallow mix. If did fret early on in the lower fade when o first braced it and found my floor tiller was off a bit. But there was still enough wood to make the rest of the limbs bend appropriately. So the frets didn't shift at all and I still got a good weihht out of it.
I'll get some better pictures when the rain clears up and I get someone to snap some pictures for me.
