Title: New design/ new build (Handle forward)
Post by: Powder on March 04, 2024, 09:37:51 AM

New build/new design for me. Tri-lam, Hickory belly, bloodwood core, bamboo backed. Deflexed, handle forward design. A little north of 60lbs. at 28 inches.

Very nice boo backed bow. I love that circle of an arch tiller.  :thumbsup:

I liked this design so much I decided to try it again using cherry, black walnut and hickory. Historically, I have had good luck using cherry, so hopefully this one will come out nice as well!

Fingers crossed!
