Black locusts bow

<< < (7/18) > >>

superdav95:
Diddo.  Watching this too. 

Selfbowman:
The bow is still about 90# so I’m going to try something. I’m going to trap the belly . I dividedthe limb width by 3  leaving the center flat and will scribe the edges to a 1/4” from the back. Why because I will completely lose a growth ring on one end . want to keep three growth rings if possible. Anyone done this with BL

Selfbowman:
The bow weighs 46.2 oz right now. Probably take 4-5oz out of handle section. I think this will finish at about 28oz. That leaves a lot to remove.

sleek:
I would absolutely NOT trap the belly. That is a recipe for failure with black locust. Id build it with a rectangular cross section or a slight crown.

Jim Davis:
+1!
