Red oak board bow
« on: February 12, 2020, 06:14:52 pm »
Been a while since I finished a bow so I pulled out a board bow I had roughed out to warm up for TN. Definitely rusty, especially in the tillering department. I was surprised how well red oak took the heat treating. This one has a crowned back. 64" ntn and just a smidge over 35#@28". Built up the handle with leather but the layers move a bit so it's not the best for a smooth finish in the fades. Involved some new experiences for me so it was a fun build.

Let me know when you're done with it, I have some trim work to do around a window at the house.

See you soon buddy!

 Nice bow Ryan. Don’t worry about Pearl. You got years of shooting that bow before he gets at those windows. ;)
