Horsebow finally complete

#1 Post by Brainbruise » Mon Mar 26, 2007 1:30 pm

This is from my previous horsebow buildalong. Here she is, 57@28. So smooth I can write my name, in script no less.

Congratulations Brainbruise. Classic lines and excellent photo of full draw. Did you have to do much tillering? Your progress on this thread has been really interesting to follow. Thanks for the effort to keep us updated.

I really did not have to tiller to much, after I got rid of the belly glass. The next one will be all bamboo, clear glass and shorter.

Hi,
It has been interesting watching the progress of your build a long. The bow looks as though it should be a good shooting bow and hopefully you will be able to give us an update on its performance.
