maple backed maple longbow
OldBow:
Great addition to the Backed Bows, Badger. Any idea what kind of maple it is ??
Also let me know if you don't want it bookmarked for backed BOM >:(
Otherwise, it is.
jpitts:
Very nice bow Steve. I like the design.
Oh, BTW, HD is selling American Elm trees now. A guy up the road from me is growing them for HD....You can "Grow your own" now ;D
Badger:
Don, the belly wood is hard maple I buy locally and the backing is rock maple from New Hampshire I believe. I found a wood cutter who took the time to learn how to cut backings right and he does both maple and hickory for me. Steve
DCM:
Nice bow Steve. You must have sawers all of the country feeding your h.... uh hobby. ;-)
snedeker:
Really nice Steve. I did one like that a few years ago and broke it while stringing, stupidly outside on an icy cold day when it was just to full draw. Fot slipped.
I have some red oak vert grained strips 30" long I've been wondering what I can go that short with. Maple or Locust maybe.
