"Four Winds" (not for BOM)
« on: October 07, 2010, 10:12:43 pm »
Here are a few pics of a recently finished west coast style pyramid bow. Quarter sawn white hickory, 59" ttt, 59# at 26", 2 1/2" at fades, 7/8" at nocks.
I applied two layers of linen backing, used acrylic paint and finished with two coats of satin poly. After 150 shots I notice the upper limb is bending more, but I'm pretty pleased with the way it shoots.

Hrothgar,
      That native bow is great....it's short, and ya say it shoots good....and no set at all.....it dont get no better than that. Very nicely done sir. Looking at the lack of set I have to believe that bow is going to last a very long time. Love the colors too

Very nice!  I really like the profile and the paint!  That's some serious weight for the length of the bow.  Looks like it would do well in the field.  Really great bow!
