Bows from Norway
« on: April 05, 2009, 05:12:00 PM »
Hello, folks.
Here are three bows from me. Give me your comments. I will add pics from the process later...if you want...

Flat/Longbow for my wife. 25#/26" Ash back and Valnut belly. Grip from Norwegian Roan and valnut. Nocks from waterbuffalo.No glass added.
   
     


Horsebow. My design. "Hiawahta" 50#/29" Valnut belly. Ash and oak center-core, and bamboo backing. No glass added.
   

       

Horsebow II. 35#/27" "Smoothy" For my 11 years old son. Valnut belly, and bamboo core, and fiberglass added. And look...dad him self...(Bad hairday)
   
 

Horsebow III 110#/29" "The beast" Ash center-core and Wengè back/belly 1,2mm fiberglass added. This is the first horsebow i buildt. My goal was 60".. Good for dinosour-hunt... Uuhhh..

Two Tracks: Welcome, we fantacy-hunt Dinos every day. In Norway it is illegal to bowhunt. Only shotgun, rifle and traps. Boring country:)

Shikari: The width is 1 1/2" or 38mm.
