Love a good flatbow, very nice!
Your selfbows always look great ddauler. Your pictures on the last selfbow thread got me into more of the white woods. What are your dimensions on the black locust. I am working on a couple of locust staves as we speak. I find it to be an odd wood to work so far.
Probably 1 7/8 fades to mid limb then straight taper to 5/8 68" NTN left it a little long and wide I have had trouble with frets on narrow locust bow I have a couple meare heath style that turned out good jury still out on this one. After 500+ shots it still stands dead straight and no compression issues.
I had read about the fretting. I was going overbuilt with one stave and a 1.5 wide D bow with the other. Yours looks great to me no string follow so I can reduce the 2in wide overbuilt if I need to that is great. Thanks.
Prob I built a couple d bows years ago and had fret issues with 2 of 3 they were around 60" and 1 1/8 wide.
Great looking Bow!
Man! Great work. I have a hard enough time building glass bows the way I want them. You self bow guys amaze me.
