mollegabet hybrid bow
« on: April 10, 2011, 03:48:00 PM »
Hello all, not long been a member of this site and have enjoyed reading about and seeing some of the many bows posted here, i also love some of the other stuff. I am from the uk and have been making bows for about 4 years in between many children so i don’t get to make as many as i would like so i am still an amateur at this and will be for the rest of my life probably lol even so i love it with a passion as such i though i might share some images of my latest bow..


the bow is 62" inch NTN with Purpleheart V spliced levers, Ash main body and black buffalo horn overlays 40lb at 25" draw...

Beautiful work...ever since I first saw you post a pic of this bow I've been tossing around the idea of the same profile/layout but in some local Sassafrass for the body and Mohagany for the levers...

That is a very cool bow! Excellent detail and tiller. How about building another as a build-along? In your spare time, that is   ;)

Is the strength of the glue all that is holding that together?
Thanks and God bless you, Steve

Many thanks guys

fujimo: yes mate its North American Ash, i like to work with it cos First its not expensive lol,quite forgiving and nice to work....

Bruce Martin: would love to do a build along...ummm spare time ....whats that lol

rainshooter: hi bro good to see ya to, just in the process of doing another, been inspired some lunies with big bows lol

sixby: Yes mate the glues all that’s holding it.. the splices are just over 4 inches in length so there is a good area holding and the splices are as well fitted as i could get them. lol i was a bit worried at first but i knew the joints where good so i soon gained confidence...

thanks again to all
