Plain Jane: a hunting bow
« on: January 02, 2007, 07:13:00 PM »
A good friend of mine asked me to build him a bow he could take to the woods and not worry about dropping it out of the stand, hence the name "plain Jane". Did I mention the guy has the draw length of one of them apeman types 30" ?? He wanted a bow long enough so's he feels comfortable drawing it. We have a 68" 56#@30", I couldn't help myself tho I had to add some cocobolo tip overlays just to satisfy myself. At my short draw length the limbs ain't working too hard. Pay no attention to the fat old man in the picture  :D

Nice bow Dano, and I agree with Ionian, there is nothing plain there, just a beautiful piece of osage made to what osage does best......

You might call it plain, I call it a work of art!  Very nice lines on that one.

Plain Jane? More like a beautiful woman, er, beautiful piece of woodworking. The cocobolo looks like it grew from the osage - that's some mighty fine joinery.   :thumbsup:
