Linen-backed Red Oak Bow


I recently made a red oak board bow backed with linen. It's approx. 40-50# @ 28". I still need to get myself some decent arrows. It's really just a "Pre-bow" so I don't mess up tillering on my nice one that I'm making from osage. Since this one is made from a board, it didn't take me long, helped me get some practice tillering, and if I messed up wouldn't be that much of a deal considering I only spent about 4 or 5 hours on it. :)
