Title: Cedar recurve selfbow
Post by: Whiskeyjet on March 27, 2017, 01:00:15 pm

So I have these cedar logs that weren't very promising. After my first attempt failed badly very early on, I persevered and was able to use another part to make this.

It is 20" NTN and pulls 15.84 Newtons at 7" 😜

Nice little bow. Put a backstrap sinew on train some reflex in and you could pick up a few newtons. Bet I smells good to
