Follow up on "One Bow" (not for BOM)
« on: December 21, 2010, 09:48:02 am »
Im going to follow ryoon´s example and post my version of just one bow (I belive the "one bow" project is very thought provoking and worthy exercise):
Its a simple Møllegabet design with relative short/medium levers, its from a wych Elm sapling (should I be forced to choose just one type of wood...wych Elm would be IT), its approx 64" and 50-55# @29", heat treated, but no induced reflex, nocks with horn overlays. Its a bow I belive I can make under most conditions, with a variaty of wood species.....and being from denmark its "in line" with my heritage;-). I have keept it simple for this project (no handle, no arrow shelf, no correcting small quirks, fast tillering)....just simple yet effective.


Damn...gotta find decent clothes for my next featured bow;-)


Cheers

PS: I add handle and arrow shelf later

That's a great lookin bow! I really like the idea of the "one bow" too. It got me thinking about what my one bow would be. I'm thinking that might be my next project. Again, awesome bow, fine work my friend.

Holten,
      Very nice, sir. Being a fan of the type myself....believe that you will be well served. I dont have access to wych elm, but really like the red elm that I do use. Again, nice job !!!
