Been working on trying a selfbow from mulberry. Turned out to be 66" and 34@28. Wanted a higher draw weight but when i was hogging wood off the belly my draw knife dug in and got a area too thin. Made bad hindge so kept on scrapping wood till both limbs were working about the same. Lesson learned. Will use a scraper sooner next bow.

Backed it with blacksnake. Got skin of road killed snake. Wife would not let me in the car with it so i had to walk home dragging the 5ft dead snake 3/4 mile home. Got some looks but folks that know me around here would not bat a eye lash.

Pretty good. You should finesse your string nocks a bit with a chainsaw file. Make them match the string where it wants to lie.

Thanks for the support guys. All you on here posting your build alongs and such have brought me along ways in my passion of archery. And now to be able to take a log from a fallen tree and carve out a working bow ... Wow, Thank everyone on here for sharing your skills. Thanks for the tip on the tips Runner. I will do that before i put on another coat of finish.
