Knotty 3030 IX Crossbow (2)

Finding the right pieces for the bow that bend without breaking and then adding them together until achieving effectiveness was a bit challenging as many pieces of the old dried out lumber did break. I had an idea of how to make the trigger so I skeched it to full size and made it work as I moved forward. I do enjoy using the knots and wood grain as decoration. This is my first crossbow ever and I now have ideas for more.
