135lb holly bow

<< < (5/5)

FilipT:
So its broken? Too bad if so. What do you think these stains are? I noticed exactly same on english oak board bow that blew up last year somewhere around 26" on tiller.

stuckinthemud:
Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that, had really high hopes for that one

WillS:
It's a good thing.  I'd rather find out that holly can deal with those weights and blow up a dodgy one.  It means when I get a REALLY clean stave I can push it even harder.

There's no fun in making countless bows that don't push the limits, and if they don't break, you don't know where the limit is ;)

FilipT:
Where did you get such big piece you can use for bows? And is that common holly I have in my garden, one with pointy leaves and berries?

WillS:
Yep, common holly! Ilex aquifolium.
