Sudbury bow
« on: November 04, 2012, 05:15:26 pm »
This is my Wampanoag Sudbury bow. 67" ntn. 52#-28 Made of Hickory. Finished with brown leather dye. Not a perfect tiller, but a nice shooter. :-)

Nice job on that bow and I think the tiller is right where it should be for that bow. Finish looks great also, good work all around Bowman,

Thanks to all of you. This bow is one of the finest replicas you can build.  :D  My opinion. Brown leather dye is perfect for hickory, and give the bow a real eastern woodland finish.
