Black Cherry with a bit of character
« on: May 29, 2011, 03:54:27 pm »
Hi all here is a bow I made for my daughter 35# @ 26" black cherry given to me by a local tree trimmer who keeps my bow building addiction going.I flipped the tips but the rest is just natural profile,backed with deer rawhide.snappy shooter for the pounds it pulls and a whole lots of fun.First time I tried this wood good stuff but don't know how it would do for heavier weight bows.finish is tung oil-Thanks for looking-Hammertime

Cool bow!
I like how the symmetry changes at full draw.And i guess it will be something for her to grow with judging from the pics ;)
