great looking bow! what kinda weight range?
For NOW, my plan is to offer something along the following.
For a 42" bow, I plan on making them 10-15#@18"
For a 44" bow I will probably go 12-20#@20"
For a 46" bow, I will probably go 15-25#@22"
And, for a 48" bow I plan on going 20-35#@24"
I need to work out some details though, but I expect it will be something close to that. I need to make a few to figure out appropriate costs, as each bow will have fiberglass on both the back and belly and have 2 core laminations of wood or bamboo (one taperred and one parallel). The bows will come with a laminated riser (phenoic will be available but it obviously isn't necessary in such a light weight bow). Each bow will include tip overlays, a dynaflight bowstring, and a laced up leather grip as well. My goal with these bows would be to produce a very high quality youth bow. If my boy is going to shoot, he needs to shoot a bow made by Daddy of course...LOL.
It is this type of stuff I have to work out, and for that reason, I won't list them on my website until summer (June). Unfortunately, they are just a bit too wide for me to get two bows out of one glue up. And they are long enough that these little bows will still require two full sized pieces of fiberglass and core laminations.
