Title: Maple and Cherry lam
Post by: Wolftrail on May 29, 2015, 04:14:00 PM

Not the best photos, I glued on a 48" cherry lam on the  belly which is tapered. 64" NTN I think the weight is around 36-40# backing is synthetic, I used what was around. I decided on a rough patina look for the back and did some art work.  I think I'll refrain in the future with doing that. Tiller is 1/4" positive. It flings an arrow and feels good in the hand.

Nice looking bow, I like how you did the tips, and the artwork is a stepping stone for future bows. The more bows we build, the more we learn.
