This one is a little different. Sort of a paddle shaped limb with levers. 4 inch rigid handle. It was a super dense piece of sage from a limb,but had a splinter try to pop at a knot so laid some rawhide over the working limbs. I went with a circular tiller on this one 'cause that's what I wanted. 65# @ 26" . 55" long.

That is just plain great....shape,style,tiller, weight. That's a killer right there. Just a tad "light" for you ain't it? ::)

Looks great man! Kind of a well rounded molly. I've always thought of paddle bows of having wider 'bend in the handle' handles but I'm no expert. I like this better anyway. :)
At fist I thought the tips were a hair wide, but at 65lbs, its not an issue at all. Again, good work.
How does it shoot?
-
cool jon...I have a similar bow in the works with hackberry with a more definitive narrowed handle section and it has a 5 curve side profile...its funky/wonky looking
looks like a good hard shooter to me...like the paint job too ;)
-
That one is nice for sure.
-
Rich I was surprised this one even made it. I thought for sure it was goona go boom so I left it a little light.
CS not really supposed to be an actual West Coast representation hence the title. Shoots wicked fast.
Chris I like the one you just put up. A little long is all ;)
Thanks Kelly
-
Well hopefully ill post something a little better for ya tomorrow...its 54" ;)

Nice job, Jon. Looks lean and mean to me!!

Fine looking bow, it doesnt look like the tips thicken up at all from where they start to narrow.
-

Darn it Holten I thought the design was all mine :'( I guess old Solomon was right about there being "Nothing new under the sun."
-

According to the Laws of Thermodynamics, neither matter nor energy can be destroyed, but only transmuted. Ergo, all matter and energy has been around all along, meaning there is literally nothing new under the sun. Nor as we are learning, not a whole lotta new stuff coming down the pike in the manner of bow design.
So that leaves us with execution, something you did with flair, panache, and style all rolled up in one. In Bubba-speak, you done good. Love it.
Oh, and one last bit, you did finish it with pollyurathane, right?
-
Man how do you fit all that in a normal sized cranium? :o Actually I've never seen a pic of you so that is an assumption on my part. ;)
-
I like your polly bow jon, from the dimensions, draw weight and bend it must be a hard hitter I would guess.

Cool looking bow. Looks like it means business!
-
I like it! I use the same paint for my cresting. Josh
-
Very well done!!!
-
I like it! I use the same paint for my cresting. Josh
Ooooh, crested arrows to match the paintjob on the bow? That would be pretty fancy-pants.
-
Great lookin' bow. Nice to see something a little different.

-
Cool Paint job!!! I like the design bow also ;)
-

-
I don't know much but I sure like it. Looks like a killer to me!

Ever since you posted this awesome bow I have had that obnoxious song in my head!
"Singing polly -wolly-doodle all day!"
ARRRGH! Both my brain cells are fried!
