first of the Year- maple pyramid bow
« on: January 07, 2010, 09:33:44 pm »
just the facts.  66" ntn 52# @ 27"   maple board bow in a pyramid design. 2" at the fades tapering to .5" tips.  the overlays and riser are bocote and paduk.  I used super glue to finish the oily woods before 3 coats of spare urethane.  the maple is stained with a light walnut dye.  Its been realy cold to shot outside but so far its doing great.

Jack Web was Joe Friday and Harry Morgan was his side kick, Keenan. Can't recall his name in the show. He went on to play Col Potter in Mash. Just looked it up. Morgan played Officer Bill Gannon. Great show. BTW there were 2 incarnations of that show. One was in the 50's and one in the 60's. I remember both. I'm old. :) Jawge

        Nice bow, I have gotten to where I prefer a maple board over most anything anymore unless I just want to make a bow from a stave. Steve

Looks good. I really like the contrast of the three woods.

Are the limbs tapered in thickness, or the same thickness from fades to tips (as pyramid bows are usually done)? Again, fantastic looking bow!

Yup, Pappy. Thank God most of them are good memories! We used to sit together and watch Dragnet as a family while I was growing up (Did I?). Pardon my digression, Sulphur. Seems like you got this board bow making down pat. You do good work. Even better you seem to like passing it on. :) Jawge
