Title: Bamboo-Bulletwood-Lemonwood ELB Stylish Bow - "Corona II"
Post by: Lehtis on April 14, 2020, 09:36:06 am

Greetings from Finland!
In the beginning of this global corona epidemy I finalized a bamboo-cumaru-lemonwood bow and I named it as "Corona". Unfortunately after few hundred arrows a splinter popped out from it´s bamboo back and it was gone. Hopefully this is some sort of forecast for the bug also. So, I started a new one, a bamboo-bulletwood-lemonwood combo. Some 5 mm thick bamboo and bulletwood slices glued on lemonwood with Smooth-On epoxy with some reflex. After some bandsawing and rasping a new bow was borning. Nocks and arrow pass made from water buffalo horn and after fine tuning the scale showed 80 lbs @ 28". Several layers of TruOil, leather handle and dacron string finalized this bow now named as "Corona II".

Looks like the bug has been turning out some nice bows at least. Well done
