Hello

This one comes from an old apple tree on my property and was a long term build.
First I roughed it out but had no plan and put it aside. Then I developped a plan but didn't believe it would come together and put it aside. Then I started the tillering but felt it wasn't possible to make it bend appropriately. After some time I again collected all of my patience and finished tillering but had no plan for an appropriate grip; I put it aside again, just shot it from time to time. Finally I thought about putting a little cork and elm bast around.

I couldn't be more happy with this bow. It's definitly a keeper and apple definitly is great bowwod. When I shot it thtough the chrono last winter I got over 190 fps / 9gpp / 27"draw. The bow did not take any set in the working limbs despite fun-shooting it quite often since - not even after pulling it to 28"; only the reflexed levers pulled out some.

Thanks for watching!

cheers
