This is dang ugly.It is a culmination of a lot of different styles of bows.
Snakey pyramid bend in the handle static nonstatic sinew backed penobscot brush bow.Try saying that fast!Nothing that looks like it would even shoot an arrow let alone be quick or shock free.Let me tell you this little yella booger bow is quick,quiet and has no handshock.56"ntn 45#@28" and it's something no self respecting selfbowyer would even consider saying that he made it,let alone use it in public.That's why I think I will keep and use this one myself. "[tunglaff]"

I NEVER SAID I WAS NORMAL!!!

Abie-Normal I'd call her

Linc that bow is awesome, I ain't going to say a thing about the tiller buddy, I can only imagine how difficult that was.

Thanks

I'm sure it will get some strange looks when people see it, but I can't wait to see the look of surprise when they shoot it. "[tunglaff]"

I forgot to mention,shoot off the hand.Can be shot from either hand,right or left.

Thanks Dano. It was a bugger for tillering.The grip area is actually almost a medium wrist.Tiller isn't great but the limb timing is almost dead on.Go figure?

I tried being normal once. Made me feel weird.

Uh...hmmm... That sure is an interesting bow.

Nope, normal is not a descriptor for that bow, but, that is a cool product of a creative mind

crazy man crazy

I like it. Perhaps it would be possible to mount a third smaller bow on top of the smallest one, and call it a triple Penobscot. Bue--.

Wow - these winter months are really hard on Linc, aren't they?

Great acheivment, Linc.

woooooooooooohooooooooo nice bow so the question that hasn't been asked what are the specs?

Richie

Linc · « **Reply #13 on:** February 05, 2005, 03:23:00 PM »

Bue,I had thought about that.Maybe I'll give it a try when I can draw higher weights more comfortably.

Bernie, You should try winters up here in New York.

I had some other ideas for this bow but I couldn't figger out how to get them to work.Right now I'm putting silk backings on it.After that I'll be putting horn overlays on the tips.

Ironfist_Canada · « **Reply #14 on:** February 05, 2005, 03:30:00 PM »

Wowser. Good for you Linc.

Linc · « **Reply #15 on:** February 05, 2005, 03:31:00 PM »

Richie.56"ntn on the main bow.36"ntn on the back bow.Ever try making 8 1/2" flemish twist strings?

The back bow is 5/8" at the widest and the main is around 1 3/8 tapering down to 7/16" at the tips.Both are flat bellied.

Absoulutely amazing Linc.

Far, far from being ugly, just amazing.

Beauty is in the eye of.......Linc?

I like it Linc,and I also applaud your efforts.Looks like more work than I care to tackle!

Linc · « **Reply #18 on:** February 05, 2005, 07:03:00 PM »

I feel like Dr.Frankenstien with this creation.Except all the parts didn't go in the right location.

Dano · « **Reply #19 on:** February 05, 2005, 07:11:00 PM »

How in the world do you figure your learning curve took a step back? You got a very complicated design to shoot, that's a major accomplishment dude!!
