"Not Wide" Red Oak Board Bow Not for BOM
PEARL DRUMS:
Another penny on my pile :)
bjrogg:
I still feel comfortable at 52 lbs but if it goes like everything else I’m sure I’ll be lightening my next few up to.
Nice to see your work George.
That’s a dandy looking bow you’ve got there Bob. Really like it.

Thanks, bjrogg. 52# is a good weight. Thanks. I am glad you like my bow. Jawge
George Tsoukalas:
Here she is sporting a new B 50 string with about 2 twists per inch. The ideal is 1-3 twists per inch.
I try to tie the bottom loop tightly around the bottom nock so the string doesn't fall off. Of course the top one has to be bigger to slide up and down for stringing and unstringing.
I am in the process of stretching it on the bow and won't be serving until it is done stretching otherwise the serving may unravel or get misshapen.

Looks good, that should be a good shooter, I usually use D 97 now but found out years ago that the rule 1-3 twist per inch on B50 and it will preform about as well as D97, Most people way over twist the string to get the length right and turn it into a coil spring. :)
