Title: snakey, impossible X-mas tree bow. lol
Post by: Squirrelslayer on March 31, 2013, 11:07:56 am
ok before i go any further, a happy easter to all. ok after the christmas tree bow broke i was burning the wreckage and noticed one part was snakey and i thought "what the heck ill make a mini bow" so as the fire was burning i set to work. i spent 10 mins chasing a ring and then layed out the snakey profile by following the grain. after roughly 1 hr it ended up being 2#@5". comments are welcome everyone.

Im glad something has worked out for you! I think if you want to mess with the wood that will likely break, that you should do it on the small scale. Much less risk of injury and such. Also, if you want to get full draw just take and make a mini tillering tree. I suppose mini bows would work to help with someones tillering skills and be beneficial for saving wood and practice
