fishfinder401:
ok........ thats not the actual bow, thats just a piece i took of the belly ;D, its actually alot more affective than i thought it would be
small birds and rodents of all kinds beware >:D, i have a new bow and im itching to use it >:D ;D

Pat B:
Noel, that is a very good way to determine if a specific piece of wood will make a bow.
I'll let the experts help you with this bow and sit back and watch. I know I'll be soaking up info and maybe I can contribute also.
Good luck with your bow. If I didn't think you could do it, I wouldn't have sent you the stave! ;)
Pass it on! 8)

I almost threw a fit till I saw your next post. That stave looks excellent. What draw weight are you going for? Dimensions?

im going for 120@32 unless i heat treat the belly then i might try for like 140, but i don't want to experiment with heat treating on such a nice stave so probably the 120is mark , im not sure of dimensions, but it will be around 75 long and im thinking a modified elb design, slightly shallower and wider, not sure though, i want to get other opinions before i cut into it ;D
thanks for the interest
