hi everybody!   -   this bow here is the fourth bow i ever made and it's the firstone i made without any help from someone;
this was almost 2 years ago.
it came out underweight with 35#@28" and i gave it to my friend katja. the bow is bamboo backed hickory. at the moment, i have it back for a minor repair.

well, when i checked the tiller i decided to take some pictures to share with you. the bend should be a good bit more towards the handle and the upper limb is a bit too bendy at mid-limb, i guess, but i think it's not too bad a bow overall...  ;D

Gordon:
That is very nice for a "beginner" bow. I can barely look at some of my early attempts.  :-[

Pat B:
Nice bow, Frank. Not bad for your first solo flight. ;)   Pat

medicinewheel:


thanks gordon, thanks pat!    -   well, number 2 was ugly, didn't really bend at all and broke in the handle. i burned it together with number five, that actually never got finished due to too many problems poppin' up while making it. to tell the truth i cannot even look at all of my nowadays attempts  ;D ;D ;D
thanks again,

frank
