Title: Thanks for the Inspiration
Post by: 4runr on June 25, 2020, 08:31:09 PM
I've been lurking on this board a lot and never felt worthy of adding my two cents, my own assessment, not any of yours.

After reading your bow swap thread, I got inspired to finish something I started a long time ago. Like 8 years, I think.

Let me just say the knowledge on this site is second to none. Since 2006 I've been a member here and have gleaned a lot of information from some very good folks.

Most of the tips used to build this particular bow came from Roy. Thank your Sir.

Specs are: 58" NTN  48# @28

Bamboo backed Osage.

Glued up scraps of Cocabolo for the handle. Some of the same along with Boo and Glass for the tips.
