Modoc Inspired Bow

Hi guys!

Another bow from me. This one was inspired by Modoc style bows. I used black locust wood and rawhide to make it. To apply the backing I used the hide glue. The bow is 53 1/2" ntn and it's drawing 50lb at 26". I made a handle working. The bow took 1/2" of set. Shoots sweet and smoother than I expected. I named it "Grizzly". It was a really enjoyable project.

In case you'd be interested to see how I made it, check out my video:

All the best guys!!!

Sweet dreams their dream craft.

Really like the bow. It might be an illusion, but it looks like it might be bending a little more right in the handle than I like. Otherwise I really like it.

joachimM:
nice video, and I like the full draw on the tillering tree there! did I see correctly that your back has a quite a violated grain, or does it follow a single ring?
