ottawa bow
« on: June 22, 2010, 11:07:54 am »
here is my first try at an ottawa bow.its 52" nock to nock made from an ash board that wasnt very good as far as violated grain so I cut a thin slice off of it and glued it back on to make a backing.its 1"3/8" wide at the handle tapering out to just over a 1/2" at the tips.I coloured the bow using "scuff coat" shoe polish the kind of stuff that has a sponge end on the bottle that is used as an applicator,over that i used a little danish oil.many thanks to rich (half eye) for his advice.it pulls 40#@26".thanks for looking.

That is a very nice bow Mox!   :)  Tiller and stain job are both superb.  Love the scallops too.  :)

Nice bow like the dark finish.  They are fun to make arent they?  Good stuff Mox!
