It turned out to be 40 pounds at 28 inches. And my buddy broke it when we took it out to video it in action. Id shot it and it was good, smooth, and accurate at 10 yards. He strung it wrong and snapped the end of the limb off. It's worth trying one. But don't expect a high pound bow. Hickory is better
@@jackwoodland Hickory has become my go to for high pound bows. But that's not to say I don't use other woods. Osage is excellent though takes more steps and is harder to come by. And oak and maple have provided strong bows. So play around
About 20yrs ago I made a walnut bow, but it was only about 40pounds.
I have actually been looking for another one to work
Kountry Aire i have no idea what this will turn out to be. Its just for fun. But i have a good feeling about it
OzarkWanderer can't wait to see it.
Kountry Aire ill do an update when i can do more with it
I use black walnut for my knife handles, its a good wood. not sure how it will be for a bow though
JR Palm so far so good

@@Ozarkwonderer thank you. Got a walnut stave roughed out and drying. I'll take this into consideration
