"Not Wide" Red Oak Board Bow Not for BOM

<< < (7/18) > >>

George Tsoukalas:
Mike, I've made a lot of children's bows at 25# with 1 inch wide red oak.

The  grain on this board was super straight which probably contributed to how well it did. It was good for 50#.

Thanks for the positive comments.

Cool bow, George and great full draw tiller. This is a good example for the new guys wondering if they can make a bow.   :OK

PEARL DRUMS:
It's very good to see you making a bow, Jawgey.

I'd be rich If I had a penny for every time you mentioned that to folks trying to use bad board stock.

Will B:
That’s a great looking bow. Very nice bend. By the way you website has been a great resource for myself and many aspiring bowyers.

George Tsoukalas:
Thanks, Pat, for the positive comments.

Will B, thank you. I am glad I had a hand in getting you started. Makes me happy. Apart from the satisfaction of making my own bows. I have enjoyed helping others get started. The internet had been good for that.

Thanks, PD. Making them is not as easy or as quick as it used to be in my younger days.
Straight grained boards are the key. There I said it again. :)

Thanks. Jawge
