Ash Snake bow (MoJam)
« on: August 12, 2015, 06:20:00 PM »
68" ntn 44#@28"
I got a half log at MoJam 3 years ago and made a bow with it.
I did not turn out very good.
I don't know what kind of ash it is, but not very good ash. not what they make baseball bat's with for sure.
Anyway
So this one I let dry Inside my house for a long time, I made it 2 1/2" wide at the fades and 3/16"+ at the nocks. I did a slow heat treat like Marc St. Louis a year ago and sealed it
My taxidermist gave me a 6' long Timber rattler skin with head and tail because the scales were coming off. 16 Rattles
I work on and off on it until a few weeks before 2015 MoJam


after 80  shots it still has reflex in it.
Time will tell
