Black Locust war bow???

<< < (4/4)

bootboy:
nice bow mate. But wouldnt it be faster minus the horntips, and isnt Black Locust hard enough not to need them?

welch2:
Anyone ever try black locust as a backing ?

skerm:
I plan to, but I still need to wait a month or so for it to dry.

Yes it would be faster with out the horn tips and less hand shock, but I want it to look traditional  ::)

Haven't tried it but I suspect it will work (can't beat Hickory though )

PS have been making quite a few laminated war bows out of our indigenous woods and have had some good results, my other B.L war bow is still waiting to be finished  :-\
