Thanks fella's, Not sure about having a talent for Leather-craft, Every single one of these projects was fouled up and redone at some stage. Dogged determination to fix Boo Boo's more like it
Frank that is one of my Selfbows. I made it in the late 90's originally 45# 66" long. The timber is Brigalow, an Australian Native, compression and elasticity modulus is very high . It does make a fine Selfbow but mass lets it down as all the Brigalow bows I've made or shot have some handshock no matter the tiller or design. First hunt with it I scratched the back on a piece of barbed wire. I retillered it to 54# 63" 5 years later and it lifted a small splinter at the scratch hence the patch. I love this Bow.
