Hi Jeff
It's mostly Rewarewa (New Zealand honeysuckle)with purple hart and Tawa pin stripes.
All the timbers come from demo jobs or skip bins on building sites.
Thanks for looking
Cheers Craig

great job, good looking bow.
if your front yard looks anything like the back, that's my kind of place.
Ps 8:3 ¶ When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

Great bow.  I like your target, what's it made of?

Kiwi craig

The target is old ceiling tiles cut down the middle. works well but some times the old paint on the tiles sticks to the arrows

JEFF B

Very nice! I love your archery range too. NZ is on my bucket list for a visit.

Good to see a bow from the land of the long white shroud -er - cloud! Excellent job too, not familiar with the timbers [except purple heart] but they look good.

Very nice bow, Craig! I'm envious of the archery range!!!
Also interested in that target.

We are very lucky to live here.
we have 6 acres and a very little house that we bought from my wife's folks about a year ago.
My archery target is made from pinex ceiling tiles riped in half long ways.
Pinex is some times called softboard and can also come in 8x4 sheets. It looks a bit like pressed wood pulp. We used it alot here in the 1950s-80s. I have a friend in the demo game that puts it aside for me.Cheers Craig

That sure is a good looking bow.  Well done.  That target is pretty sweet too.
