Dogwood longbow 60# 30"

[Ishi]

I was not often here last weeks (months?), I was occupied with some other projects, will present soon. This is bow I finished for a friend. Curved, knotty dogwood sapling. It is 72 ntn, 1" wide and little less thick in the handle. Was difficult to tiller beacuse uneven reflex in the outer limbs followed with one deflex spot right in front off it, everything missaligned. This is the best I could take out of this. Still holds about 1,5" of reflex, had about 2,5" reflex. Not heat treated, just heat reshaped a little to be in line. Pins left rised because I like it very much. . 588 grams of physical mass. Drawn to 30", owner will pull to 28-29".

Hi Ishi, looks very good.
Whats dogwood for a wood for?
Is it "Cornus (genus)" species of trees and shrubs known as Dogwoods/Disambiguation/ Hartriegel)?

Ps: some parts are looking simila as a "Caterpillar".

Greetings Jürgen

Nice bow, as usual!
I posted your interview couple of weeks ago ^^

@Sherrif: jo , ist Hartriegel.

[Ishi]

Skinwalker... as my beard grows and my skills become slightly higher. Thanks for kind words.
Thank you Sherrif. This is cornus sanguinea. Yes, it looks similar to some Caterpillar.
Hi Haithabu, my friend... thanks for comments. I do not understand very well about interview...?

Thanks Mandos.

@Ishi: In the threat posted, people congratulate you for being on TV. Also, I posted a translation of the first 6 minutes (got a fellow student from serbia).

Btw: Mustaches rule!

This bow comes directly out of the wood, i like that style. It looks powerful and has so much character.

[Gornarak]

Unbelievable that this piece of wood can be a bow.
