Finally got my second shooter and first character bow! 63" Black Locust, 40#@28"

(1/3) > >>

Finished up this simple 63" black locust flat bow from a fun stave.
The limbs have a little bit of opposite propeller twist that even each other out nicely and puts the string straight through the handle. But that, plus the dog leg just beyond the fade in the upper limb, made it a bit harder to tiller.
About 40# at 28", finished with several coats of boiled linseed oil, homemade waxed linen string.

That's one you can be proud of. A bit stiff on the outer limbs but still a good looking bow. Well done.  :OK

Will B:
Nice looking bow on a challenging stave. I’m currently working on a black locust bow with lots of dips and a snakey profile. Congratulations on a nice black locust bow.
