Decided to redo this post.
I was playing around with some Pacific crabapple. Not knowing it's tension or compression values I went with a wider oval cross section design.
Very good tension wood. Next one will have a flatter belly and get a heat treating.
This bow is shipped off, I will get a F/D shot from the new owner and post is as soon as I can.
64.5" NTN 50#@27"

-
Love the knots.

Looking great, can't wait to see the rest.

Wow great job Bryce. Yet another that is an inspiration to try other woods to see how they pan out.
Did you end up staining the back or is that natural?

Top shelf, buddy! Your bows just get better and better.
-
Sweet bow, and a takedown as well, man that's stupid.... 8)

Looks like a beauty. I just started my second crabapple with intentions of tempering it too, but I cut through a growth ring with my scraper, and just set it aside for now. I will get back to it later. Maybe you will get one tempered first and see how it works out.
-
Looks sweeter than apple pie Pineconer, and that arrows a beauty too. Wish I could drop in on ya and see some bows and maybe eat an elk steak or two. :D
-
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!
-
That's a cool bow, Bryce. Came out very nice. But isn't half of it mine? I'll let you pick which half I get. :)
-

is it bad? i had a couple spots near the handle that where violated seem to be alright, better safe than sorry though. very good tension wood.

Very nice Bryce! Always love yer bows. Ever mess with that ERC and buckthorn? Marco D.
I'm saving that buckthorn for something special. I haven't roughed the erc. Wanted to practice my bamboo backing, now that I got a few of those done I'll dig into it soon :)

Nice work Pinecone! Character in two pieces, well done sir.

Well, I got a surprise the other day....Ol Pinecone floored me! He told me he sent a pair of billets. I thought, "cool, what kind of wood is he challenging me to make a bow from." I had just gotten home from visiting my ailing grandma and the little kids both threw up in the car (mom has no sense of how much sugar is in crap food). So I finally get done cleaning out the kids seats and van seats and throwing barf clothes in the washer, and get the kids out of the bath and settled in when I open this package and get completely blown away. Thank you Bryce for the strong medicine. You are a great bowyer and friend.
The full draw pics arent that great, but I thought they were pretty good for my little bow to have taken, so here they are:

That is super cool!
-
I forgot to say....It shoots great!!!! :) :)
-
That's what you get for being such a good guy! >:D
Nice work, Bryce. That was a really nice thing to do.
-
this act says a million things about Bryce! Hes supporting the PA spirit!
-
What are you talking about man!? I did send you some billets....well...ok I widdled on them a bit ;) :P
-
Carson, what do you think? Should we keep him? I think Oregon doesn't just have the best wood.
I know you'll enjoy that bow as much as I enjoy mine. :)
Dave

What are you talking about man!? I did send you some billets....well...ok I widdled on them a bit ;) :P
I will take a whole stave if you have one spare ;D
Lovely thing that.
-
Cool surprise and good deed 8)
-
Why, I had NO idea it was going that way Carson! Congrats you certainly deserve it friend.
-
Very nice all the way around - indeed.
-
They don't get much better then that.
-
That's what you get for being such a good guy! >:D
Hey, don't be Jealous Weylin ;)
Dave, I guess we could make a little place for him in the back ;D
Pearl, I guess everyone knew but me! I don't know about deserving it, but I will take it!
Thanks again Bryce. I love the fact she is a takedown too.
-
Couldn't have gone to a greater guy Carson! Now you know why we were bummed you couldn't make it last week!
-
Sometimes you have to wade through the bad to get to the good. Glad there was a pot of gold waiting for you Carson. Those don't look like the billets in my shop!
Great looking bow and the smile on Carson's face in the second picture says it shoots great! Very cool.
-
That is a fine, looking bow, Bryce and Carson is one lucky man. Is Gordon your Dad? :D
-
Is Gordon your Dad? :D
Hahaha! ;D ;D ;D
-
Is Gordon your Dad? :D
Hahaha! ;D ;D ;D
Ha! He wishes ;)
Glad it strikes your fancy Carson:) now get some blood and dirt on it!
