I'll be sure to do that soy. I think I'm going to incorporate some feathers into my next bow

Thank you Kolton. I have seen two feather backed bows on here. I'm not sure if mine looked like theirs but that's how I knew about it. I'll have to do a search to see if they look the same

Thank you arrowind. Thank you crookedarrow. I got several coats of finish over the feathers. I'm anxious to try some other feathers besides Turkey.

           "...classic straightarrow bow porn right there."


Howdy Straightarrow,

That bow is beyond COOL 8)!!

As my teen-aged girl would say, (in her high-pitched whiny tone) "OMG!  That's totally... (something)".

Anyway, I think the bow is terrific and that it looks really well tillered.  I love those feathers.

Congratulations!

All the Best,
Canoe
