New hard maple flatbow

<< < (4/7) > >>

jcougar:
Wow!  Thanks!  This was my first hard maple bow, and its not going to be my last.  I think I have thre or four mores staves from the same tree.  I used maple because I thought it would be better for my humid climate than hickory.

OldBow:
Admirable work, there, jc. Bookmarked, too, for May Self Bow of the Month

Stickhead:
Great looking bow.  I'll never look at a maple tree the same way again.

Pat B:
Very nice bow, J. I have not yet tried hard maple but I have heard good things about it for self bows. It also makes good backing strips for wood that is weaker in compression.    Pat

snedeker:
Smashingly successful.  Made me get out the Norway maple stave I've been drying and layout a line on it.
