80" White Elm Warbow Build-along

I'm guessing that's the bottom nock? That looks great! Your horn to limb transition looks very smooth. Well done Grasshoppa! I'm glad to see you getting this bow done, so we can go shoot it soon. Too bad the weather's gone to shite, but next weekend is shaping up to be decent.
Cameroo:
Unfortunately I still haven't been able to give this girl her field trial, hopefully I'll be able to get out with it sometime this week.
I put it on the tiller tree today, and plotted a force-draw graph. It gave a pretty consistent 5lbs/inch of draw length, right up until the last inch of draw, where it started to stack. I can't wait to see what she can do.
Here's a picture of the needle on the scale wrapping around back to zero ;)
And the final full draw tiller (115lbs@32"):
I'll post a few glamor shots once the last coat of finish dries.
P.S. - I also discovered a new favorite bow-making beverage... seems appropriate 8)
criveraville:
Great thread! Beautiful bow amigo!!
WillS:
Great work dude, sensational tiller shape. Can't believe you've only just discovered Strongbow. They serve it extra cold in the pubs here. Nothing better!
Badger:
Ditto what Wills said. I love the tiller shape. I would expect you will come very close to 300 yards with the livery arrow(750 grains approx??)
