Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Building a black locust Mollegabet style bow with the use of hand tools. The bow is drawing 45lb at 26", approx 66" ntn. What a great shooter it is! Test shooting video coming hopefully next week. Stay tuned!

    I love the Mollegabet design. It's so easy to make a longer or shorter bow and still get your full draw length with it. Beautifully done. That Locust sure is lovely wood.

    Neal nice drawknife and scraper work. Well built and tillered. Interesting design with such a short bending limb section. I wonder about the long term effects if it will cause the limbs to take a set? I am sure the tempering of the belly will help with that. The shape looks like a straight Asian horn bow minus horn and sinew with the long static narrow limb ends. Can’t really call them tips at that length. Again, well done.
