what a mess handle and full draw added
« on: September 20, 2010, 11:55:25 pm »
well after push mowing my moms grass i came home around noon and treated myself to some bow building ! started on one project and then got side tracked . ended up with a hickory recurve 56 inches tip to tip 42lbs at 28inches. after looking at so many native bows lately i decided to try my hand at painting the back of one ....not my cup of tea !! anyway here it is full draw when i have some light .

Heck yeah, looks like a fine job to me.  Is that a stave or board?  I made some bow boards kinda like that and they've shot very nicely.  Nice job!

Great little project Ken, looks almost too cute to hunt with ;)

And 86 boards left???  Potential for a good looking arsenal there hehehe

Also looking forward to your aforementioned project.  More than a few people on here intrigued about it, I'd be willing to bet.
