Finished my ERC
« on: March 10, 2013, 03:02:58 pm »
Been shooting this sinew backed erc for a while now and decided to go ahead and finish it up.  My first erc and first try at sinew - bow #13 I believe?.  I think the sinew was not "fine" enough and the thicker strands of sinew gave the back a unique texture (which I liked).  Decided to stain it with a wine colored stain and leave the belly a natural colored.  Finished with tru-oil.  About 64" ntn 49# @ 27".  Here some pics.

Little longer than i like to go with Sinew Backd bows, but it looks very nice.  What Kind of stain did you use?  I like how it sort of matches that ERC heartwood on the belly.  Good work keep em coming.

Quit snowing so I had to go shovel snow.  Since I was out thought I would take a pic.  Took awhile to talk the wife into coming out and snapping a pic.  She thinks I am nuts.  Thanks dear!  Anyway here is the full draw - which for me is about 27".  Thanks for the replies made already!  Zion - Wasn't trying for a "sexy" bow - but I will take it!   :o   ;D
