Hickory Axe/Pick Handle Bow
Posted: Fri Jan 17, 2014 10:05 pm
Hey guys,
I was reading the bowyers bible and came across an interesting chapter. It stated you can make short bows out of hickory handles made for tools. I work at bunnings and had a look at the handles in our section and i was surprised to see how straight some of the pieces were. Can any of you guys give me any more info on them, such as difficulty to make and how they hold up being spliced together.
Thanks!
