OldBow:
Makes me feel good to look at a real primitive bow.  Nice job on the tiller. Nice job on the splinter, too. Would have been a shame if it wound up as a hotdog stick.

Badger:
Nice bow Jamie, cool story about spittin on the wood, good moral in that story and true ta boot. Steve

jamie:
steve i just weighed it and its roughly 15oz. aside from the heavy tips how is it possible to get the weight down on a bow like this to conform to your mass formula. on the other hand i have a piece of boo backed maple. very thin boo around .100 on a 1/2" maple slat 1 1/4" wide with a fast taper to 1/2" nocks that isnt even at brace and weighs 13 oz its also 60" long with 2" of reflex.

medicinewheel:

dang...wish we had hickory trees laying around like that over here in germany...

nice primitive bow, great tiller!

Dane:
Jamie, great bow. I don't doubt you are going to harvest some meat with her.
