Title: new bow for the season
Post by: John K on August 27, 2012, 10:02:39 pm
This is a 54" Ironwood bendy handle bow i just finished up, hope to make some meat with it this season, arrows are in the works  :) The bow pulls 52@26  Timber rattler skins, going to be a nice ambush bow  ;D


Got another in the works, thanks to the bow trade !! ;) :D :D

Nice,  by iron wood do you mean blue beech?(aka ironwood/muscle wood )
Title: Re: new bow for the season
Post by: John K on August 29, 2012, 07:37:49 pm
Not sure if it's called blue beech :-\, my tree book has it listed as Hophornbeam, ostrya virginiana

Hope that helps  :)
