Title: Short Ash Board Bow
Post by: DLH on June 08, 2012, 04:50:52 pm
I started this a while ago just never got around to finishing up until last weekend posted a picture of the board a long time ago I think Jawge suggested cutting about a foot off it it so thats what I did. I glued on some lined as well hoping it would help hold it together. I used a tillering gizmo to help me along which is a fantastic tool highly recommend it helped a new guy like me for sure. Its around 50 1/4" ntn and it is drawn to 22in @45ish I am contemplating whether to strecth out the draw some more or not but leaning towards staying where its only being able to go around 3 more inches which I don't really want to push this piece of ash thankful to have what I do now. Well here it is any criticism is welcome thanks for looking!
