Christmas Bow
« on: November 26, 2009, 12:24:45 pm »
A lady at work told me her eleven year old son wanted a bow for christmas and ask if I could make one  and what I would charge to do it. As far as the charge goes ,well hey its a time for giving right. 57 inches knock to knock forty pounds at twenty eight inches, Hickory with bamboo backing hickory ,mahagony and oak riser . The primitive kid is doing the full draw honors. I just about lost this bow .got a bad hinge in the top limb just above the riser. But I think it came out alright.

Very nice bow, and quite the way to promote the sport while at the same time spreading Christmas cheer! ;)
