hickory sapling bow
« on: January 22, 2012, 12:06:10 am »
Hey guys, just finnished this one up. Its from a hickory sapling 1 3/8"in  diameter. One limb had that side view profile and the other was very close, so I heat tempered the whole works at the same time making it more symetrical. 59" NTN, 1 1/4" to mid limb then to 7/16" nocks. Finnished out at 48# @ 28" and shoots very well with almost no sound. The coloring is black rit dye over green rit dye mixed with rubbing alcohol. 7coats of tung oil with 2 coats of finnishing wax. thanks fer gawkin.

This is an outstanding bow. Great tiller, and nice finish work on the tips and the dye.  It shows that you put a lot of care into this.

Cody, That is awessome! Put a huge smile on my face when I seen the handle wrap. I've seen that style somewhere. ;D  Your detail work on those tips is superb. Great tiller and excellent profile. As other have said very gracefull sexy lines. Congratulations on a fantastic bow.
