here is the latest bow that i shoot and use,its specs are 57 inches tip to tip, 58 pounds at 27 inches,1 and 3/4 inches wide at the handle and fades to 1 and 1/2 as the tips(upper limb) transitions to 1/2 inch to 3/16 wide at the tip.the side measurements are 3/8 at the transiton to 3/4 of an inch at the tips. it is a sweet shooter with a slightly stiffer upper limb , its brace heigth is 5 inches and has no stack very quiet and very smoothand it is very fast . here are a few pics.

thanks ron, its my second holmegaard, the first was of redoak(it went to someone at cloverdale) it was a sweet shooter, just not heavy enough, this one is perfect.
-

Nice looking bow. I have one very similiar about half finished. I really like the slim levers on yours. Also, not to offend you but that style is a Mollegabet not a Holmgaard. I think most people generalize the two styles. You have a fine representation.

hey jonw i made it out of a pic off of the traditional bowyers bible. i believe the only difference between the holmegaard and the mollegabet is the holmegaard is wider at the beginning of the narrow upper and it narrows at the tip and the mollegabet are just the opposite like mine, now that i look at it. its good to learn. ive got over 500 shots already on "p'catewah posetha" (black cat).
-
Very nice. I really like that full draw picture.

Nice one.

Nice looking bow. Cloverdale? Are you a hoosier?
-
Nevermind. I just saw the license plate :P
-
no osage outlaw not a natural born hoosier, but i have met some of the greatest people ive ever met there at the dale, and i have found it to be the norm to meet some of the best folks anywhere at traditional bow shoots.
-
here is the final touches on my mollegabet bow i added a stitched and glued handle and one more coat of poly and i wrote the specs on it with the bow name also.here is a pic or two.the leather is longer toward the top to allow my boo arrows to run across, boo and osage can be noisy.lol cant wait to see all of your bows and i wish i hadnt missed the trade bow .
-
from one buckeye to another,that is one nice bow.thanks for the look,steve
-
heyn seabass where ya from in the buckeye state? thanks for the compliment on the bow, but if i can do it anybody can do it.lol
-
hey buddy,i live down in middletown.about 30 miles north of cincy.what part are you from
-
I've been half tempted to do something similar but have'nt yet. I've been stuck in the pyramid mode. Not that I'm complaining but I think I will be doing one of those this year. Great work and I bet its a good hunter. Danny
-
hey seabass im from chillicothe about an 1 and 1/2 from cincy area, side winder the mollegabet style is very smooth and fast but inherintley quiet. they are not as easy as the pyramid design(my favorite for white wood) but as long as care is given to the transition areas they are worth the effort. if you decide to make a osage bow id be glad to give ya my specs and dimensions for mine.

shot at my buddys house(he has some targets set up on a course) its five minutes from my house and i shoot for free, my molle loves the 560 grain boo arrows and they shoot fast and flat.
