Black locust pyramidal bow 62# 30"
Black locust pyramidal bow 62# 30"
This is a bow for my friend. Made of low quality wood: ratio of early and late wood is 50:50. 70" ntn, 1 3/5 wide at fades and under 1/2 at nocks. A lot of early draw weight, probably beacuse not taking set, it is little strange for stave like this. Has some twist that added some false stiffnes to the limbs, tiller could be better but I had no nerves to twist it off. Finished with pig fat and bee wax. Stave of this quality took terrible amount of crysals in warbow designs.

That's a great piece of work, absolutely beautiful!
Is that the same stave that failed as a 145# warbow?

That´s a really nice bow! The tiller looks perfect and I can´t see any string follow.
Go on like that!

@lonbow, it could be softer in the fades but then it would be little slower.
thanks Sipi!
@fluflu - black locust is light/sensitive, it becomes dark on day light and depends of the stave could be redish, yew-like or some kind a green. (You will see..
)
Thanks TomTom!
@Agroman- according to my evidence I am pretty sure it was his other half (brother). It is not failed yet, just covered with crysals, I am waiting for someone to make me full draw pic off it, is still has some reflex!
Thanks Lord...
