Hickory bow with walnut handle

[Keith Wolfe]

Getting close to getting my current builds out the door. This is the third completed in the last two weeks and two more getting poly now. Feeling better!

What we have here is a 68" hickory bow with a walnut handle pulling 41lbs at a 28.5" draw. 1.5" wide.

Nice!  Tiller looks spot on too!

Keith are you using boards or staves? I haven't seen a back picture, so I cant ever tell exactly.

The tiller looks perfect to me as well. It does look like the handle is a bit short on the lower half but I bet with the swell it fits nicely in your hand.

I use boards. We have a great woodworking shop called Wood World that carries a huge supply of different hardwoods. Y'all probably have similar places, but man, I'm like a kid in a candy store over there. Always a huge selection of white oak, hickory, maple, ash, and tons of exotics. All I've ever used is boards. My handles are 7 inches at the color change. The shelves are dead center and the handle is 2.5" above and 4.5" below so your hand has about 4.25" to the main board.
