Dark Knight
This is an ebonized Black Walnut long bow. It is 66 inches long and draws 55 pounds at 28 inches. It is the twin and the bow I made for Tim Wells, a legend in the primitive hunting world.
The Wood: Black Walnut is a dark hardwood that is full of tannins. A solution of vinegar and steel wool reacts with the tannins making a deep dark finish on the bow. Walnut is a tension strong wood with deep purple heartwood that made for a pretty two toned handle.
The Design: Long, straight and narrow limbs make for a very accurate bow but tend on the sluggish side. This bow is modeled after the Cherokee flat bow design and has a very simple rounded handle that is wrapped in Birch Bark. The extra long limbs act as stabilizers and the wide limbs allow for a heavy draw weight to be spread across the wide belly and limit string follow.
Finishing Touches: The ebonized finish contrasts with Moose antler Tips and a Birch Bark Handle Wrap. This bow was oiled to keep a dark matte finish and lock out the moisture.
This is a stealthy looking bow that shoots like a sniper rifle. This is a great bow for someone who hunts in dark timbers or out of a ground blind and prioritizes long accurate shots over speed and maneuverability.
