Molle I thought... (pics)

[Goose Gossett]

Here's what Ken75 has inspired me to try... father's day is coming up soon and I know my father has been itching to get a bow that he could shoot 45-50#.  I have been tinkering in the garage as the business of summer has come and this is where I am so far.  

46# @ 22.5" so far shooting for 45-50# @ 28"  It's 60" tip to tip and fairly close maybe 59" ntn braced @ 6.5".  I trapped the back to help with the set (thanks for the insight Ken).  Enjoy and feel free to critique everything but my bow string

Forgot to mention it's hickory with walnut tips and handle.

That is going to be some bow it looks like. Once I get a bow or dozen under my belt I would like to try one of these.

Your dad is going to love it. Cant waite to see more of it.

That looks good Goose. How bout a pic on the tiller stick. Your dad will like that one, those molles are sweet shooters. I just finished an osage character bow I'm giving to my dad for fathers day.

Nice Goose!

Kris you're up too early this morning!

[Goose Gossett]

So it was a molle... now it may be firewood. Thoughts?

That stinks Goose. Thats a pretty long, deep splinter. Did it have some grain runoff in that spot?

Makes me think trapping the back was a no-no. It may have been over stressed as a result? Who knows for sure. Sinew the back and continue on Goose!

what was the brace height? looks high

[Jake Fr]

just a thought can tou reglue it and string wrap it then sinew the back or is that a big no no just a thought

[Goose Gossett]

Brace height was about 6" and it wasn't a big deal to start a new one for my dad.  Got the board for $6 so not a huge loss.
