new bow

[Gringa Bows]

decided i better make another bow before i forgot how to do it,this one is straight layed,i put a parrelel sally wattle between three silver ash tapers,68in.ntn 70lb.@28in. finished painting it,and made a new flemish string this arvo,so will see how it shoots on the weekend.

You obviously havent forgotten Rod, What is this Antler and osage in the tips? Are you going all arty on us?
Nice invisible joins on the lam butts aswell . Steve

[Benny Nganabbarru]

That's quite an accomplishment. Have fun with it!

[piggy]

Mate what a top looking bow! Well done

[Stickbow Hunter]

Looks good Rod - enjoy.

I think that might be bamboo and not Osage in the tips Steve?

[Gringa Bows]

thanks for the compliments,it was experimenting to see what poundage i would get with the parrelel lam and see how it shoots,i was hoping for 60-65 i could do some more sanding i spose to get some weight off but i can handle 70lb so will see how it goes.Ummmm Steve is right it is osage in the tips the handle is kwilla.i should have put more time into the final sanding but i'm too inpatient and its for me anyway so it will get scratched up pretty quick. ......................Rod

[Stickbow Hunter]

It is Osage huh, I wasn't sure and that is why I had the question mark. It came in a bit heavy but at least you will know what core thickness to use for the next one.

[longbow steve]

I almost edited my post to say bamboo Jeff .
So how does it shoot Rod? Steve

[Gringa Bows]

dont know yet Steve goin to let the paint dry for a couple of days,...............Rod

[Coach]

Looks god Rod
I have a question ,,, Is it necessary to have the tips so thick ? If so , why ?

[Gringa Bows]

thanks Lindsay,nah Coach not necessary i glued the overlays up the day before i glued them on the bow, did'nt realise how thick they were till i started shaping them i'll be more careful next bow ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Rod

[Coach]

Cheers , I thought they were a bit thick
