Black locust pyramidal bow

[Ishi]

Before month or so a friend of mine asked me to make bow for him. He gave me dimensions and specification for shape. He wanted "sharka" pattern on the back, darkened belly, adjusted to 28" draw but able to hold on 31-32". He wanted also 60# on 28" and to be fast bow without many character. I havent any other solution than reflexed bl pyramidal bow. This bow is 72" ntn, 1 3/5 wide at widest part of the limb and under 1/2 at nocks. Brace height is 6". Had almost 2" of relex and now has a little more than 1".It was curved and I had to align it with steam bend. Belly was darkened with walnut stain and finished with mix of pig fat and beewax. This is set after hundred shots. This is result, lightnin' fast....

The shape of the completely bow looks in full draw fantastic. The bending ist very harmony. But the best ist your finishing with pig fat and bee wax. It's absolutly traditional. I like that.

Nice character bow with really nice tiller.
I like it!

Thank you very much. I am doing my best. Black locust is very thanksfull wood but unforgiving for errors so I do not work it often, just when I am concentrated.

Hey was für ein Selfbow, super. Und die Bemalung passt irgendwie auch zur rustikalen Erscheinung. Sehr gut gelungen und trifft genau meinen Geschmack.

Tremendous as usual!

Isn't pig fat starting to reek or something like that?



Keep up the good stuff!
