First attempt at
« on: April 08, 2010, 08:43:00 AM »
Here is my first attempt at a holmgaard that more resembles a molegabet(spelling) It is 66" NTN, 2" wide at the fades to the levers and pulls 43.5 lbs at 26.5 inches.  The bow has a 9" handle, 15" working limbs, and 14" levers  I named the bow "Adahy" meaning "lives in the woods"

That's really cool.  What type of wood did you use?

This is made of hickory that we cut down about 3 years ago.
