playing with my wood
    #7462594 - 09/27/07 11:45 PM (16 years, 4 months ago)

I'm always dinking around with wood lately, came up with this one.  Not sure how much of it is art, but it is my creation nonetheless! :wink:

68" tip to tip, 44pound draw at 28", red oak with a red oak lamination, glued into about 1.5" of reflex per limb.  The darker wood is Zebra wood.  Going to be selling this one.

Sweet! I also love working with wood. I carve my little brother all sorts of odd weapons. I think it might be my favorite medium to work off of. Do you have pictures of your other work? And does that bow work?

Toddo - it's fully functional. I have been toying at making self-bows for a few years now. I shape a bow, setup a target on my straw bail, shoot it 50-100 times, and either put it on my bow rack or sell it and start another - I really just enjoy the carving and the target practice.

That must be so rewarding...doesn't it suck to sell something like that? I've not made a bow yet... more along the lines of 'battle' axes and swords with some engraving work.

I have a wood bow here. (not made by me) Seeing yours kind of inspired to embark on the journey of making a functional one.

Right on.  The one book to start with is "The Traditional Bowyer's Bible Vol. 1" ISBN 1-58574-085-3 (two and three are great as well).  This book will take you start to finish on your first bow.

Also, http://b16.ezboard.com/bpaleoplanet69529  is my fav. website for sure!!  :smile:  Check out the bow sub-categories, everything from primative to fiberglass lamination.  Lots of help there and tons of great information to get you going.

Selling the bows brings me a smile honestly.  It helps to suppliment my income, when they sell :wink:, and perhaps spark interest in someone else in traditional ideas and ways, many forgotten about.

Have fun!
