2nd Red Oak Board Bow Finished - (Pic Heavy)

[Jomohr84]

So here is my second Red Oak Board Bow finished. Have put about 300 shots through it, and seems like it's well broken in now. I put 46# on it, but scale says 47# - 48#, figure over time it will get down around 46#. 68" ttt, 66" ntn, a little under 2" of set, and some tiny chrysals about 3"-4" out of the fades.

Hoping to get a Hickory board for my next bow, or possibly a very nice walnut board I saw earlier this week at a lumber yard.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Much better than my first tiller, seems like this bow will actually last, even if it doesn't send the arrows screaming, I still enjoy shooting it.

Great work! Nice tips. Congrats on a great bow.

Backing is canvas duck cloth, I found it at a thrift store and got enough to do 5 or more bows for $2.00
