First selfbow

[Topo_trekker]

69” oval limb with 30.5” draw. 40# toasted belly. The hackberry was a good beginner wood to learn on. It has it limitations being a soft wood and didn’t want to hold the reflex I put into the tips, maybe held an inch out of 4. Shoots alright for my first one.

Working on a juniper backed with sinew right now. Will post when finished.

Maybe one day I’ll venture out and try to make a self bow. Nice looking work.
