Hey everyone!
Finished up another bow the last one of a set of 4 adult bows from an American Red oak board. The board so far has yielded 4 bows with 4 additional kids bows in the works.
The bow is 68" long and is the first bow where I've incorporated the TBB mass principle the bow ended up being 19oz. right on the money. I learned from my previous heat treatments and managed to slowly and gently cook the limbs resulting in very little set so far. The bows limbs are 2 inches wide at the fades for a little over half the limb before tapering to 1/2" nocks. I shot for an elliptical tiller and believe I pulled it off.
The handle is brain tanned buckskin created by my brother with NZ possum fur string dampeners.
Cheers guys
