Title: Apple tree bow - "Moonbeam"
Post by: dreamcraft_archery on February 07, 2019, 12:44:42 pm

Hi guys !
It's my first post here and I'm very honoured to become a part of this community. I'm from Poland and I consider myself as a beginner bowyer. I got addicted to this beautiful craft about 1,5 years ago.
I'd like to share one of my bows - flax (lineen) backed apple tree bow. It's 55 inches long and draws about 28lbs at 24". It was my first attempt at backing bow and I am very glad of effect. Cow horn arrow pass, tips finish and leather handle. It has about 2cm reflex at rest.
In spite of beeing very light shoots sweet!

I named it "Moonbeam". Some photos:

Very nice bow. You've spent the last 1.5 yrs very well. Can't wait to see more of your work.

You've definitely come to the correct place. I'm pretty much a beginner too and agree there's so much knowledge shared on this site. That's a good looking bow. Great  job.
