bamboo backed and bellied hickory bow
ajooter:
Very cool!! Way above my pay grade. I'd like to try a bamboo backed ipe someday maybe.
superdav95:
Many thanks guys! Ya Arvin I’m working on the other one to try and get it to 50 pounds. I’d like to try and get both of these ready am if all goes well with my strings then I may have a contender. I’ve been breaking linen strings. I must be doing something wrong. I’ll keep at it.
Selfbowman:
Tandy leather has some 6 count linen that would require about 10 strands on that design. It seems like a rope but it works.
Aussie Yeoman:
Amazing bow; great job.
What draw weight were you chasing when tillering it prior to putting the belly lam on?
simk:
Cool bow Dave - and very well made of course! Whenever I see one of those Boo-backed/and-bellied bows I got rememeberd to my personal bucket list. Still a few glue-up problems to solve for me. Bamboo belly should be awesome I imagine. cheers
