Newest member of the family! silk backed pecan
« on: April 24, 2012, 10:59:52 pm »
72"ttt, 70" ntn, 47@28",(I love 30-50# bows, so much fun to shoot) pecan with walnut handle and tips silk back. The top limb has a stringer nock. b50 flemish twist, and soon to be added squirrel tail silencers.









Bottom is tad stiffer?




I thought the handle was too pretty to put a wrap or rest on.





and I really like the dark brown silk against the white wood, it almost matches the walnut...



top limb, wrapped with dark brn coat thread where silk stops


bottom




shootin off the knucks


Why I backed it...





Thanks for lookin folks!   :)

Great bow! I agree about the handle, too pretty to cover up!

Awesome man. I like the look of pecan and have like 30 of them down the street from me.

The string's a little too bright for me though.  :P

You dont look so enthusiastic to have your pic taken :laugh:.....finish looks nice,and yes your bottom limb is a wee hair stiff,but not by much,or anything to be too concerned about.

Nice job, Sir. Great color combo in the handle and the brown matching thread is a nice touch!!

It was a symetrical bulbous handle, but it didn't feel right so I shaped it to my hand.

Thank for the comments!

Great work!  My first shooter that held together was a pecan sapling bow and, in spite of all the newbie errors in tillering, it is still flinging arrows after thousands of shots.  Pecan is great bow wood and I am willing to bet that you have built one that will stand the test of time.
