hickory backed jatoba
« on: April 09, 2013, 11:59:45 pm »
Had the urge to get some of my wood tools out and make a board bow. I really need to work on my shooting so I wanted a simple longbow to turn into my everyday shooter. Hick backed jatoba, 66.5 ntn, 56lbs@27", ipe tips, bone shelf, 1/8 lace wrapped handle, 5 coat of tru oil. Glued in 3" of reflex and seams to still have a 1 to
1 1/2 left. This is my 3rd backed jatoba bow and I like it. Thanks for looking!

I like that combo. I've been punching out basic ELB's for the SCA out of hickory and Jatoba lately.

Very nice, I've made hickory backed jatoba bows in the last month. It's a nice wood. What did you think of it?
