Hickory trade bow finished
« on: May 31, 2011, 09:41:06 pm »
Hi all, So I finished my trade bow. I thought I would give the new owner a sneek peek. ;D It's a hickory board bow, just under 62'' long, 1.5'' wide, 58# @28''. There is a good amount of artwork on the back which I can not show off now, the new owner will have to do that. I made a dacron string with rabbit fur silencers, and will be making an arrow or two to send with it. Hope you all like it. thanks for looking.

Perfecto.....love that profile.
