Title: Black locust bendy handle
Post by: Mo_coon-catcher on June 10, 2024, 08:37:44 AM

Here’s a little black locust bendy handle I just finished up. Pulling 40# at 27”. It is 56” between the nocks, 1 3/8” wide from and of handle to mid limb tapering to 3/8” nocks, and 1 1/8” wide at the handle. I made the lower limb 1” shorter than the top. Tips are Purple Heart. I decided to play around with stamping the leather strip before I glued it down. I kinda like the effect it has once the ends are wrapped. It’s a decently quick thing without much noise or vibration. I havnt weighed it yet but it can’t weigh much over 10oz.

Thanks for looking

Kyle
