Little Teaser on another Hickory Bow....

[Mohawk13]

...I am Making. Going to be hunting all over the place this year and decided to make 2 more bows to make sure I have one ready to go if I loose or break one. Kinda Like the first Hickory bow I made minus real snake skin. Found some almost matching cloth ones. Benefit of this so far is the next bow does not smell like a reptile...Purple Heart Tips on this and the next one. Still working out the face piece. Will post more and specs when it is 100% Complete....Top and Then Bottom Tips. Gorilla Super glue to secure and then shaped with a rasp and sand paper. Slots added with file. Not My best work, but the first tip overlays I have tried...Enjoy.

I like it, looks good to me! One question though, how did you get both tips in the same picture! 

[Mohawk13]

Actually 2 pictures. Used my photobucket to link one on top of the other. You can see the line in the center of them

I figured they were two pics, just giving you a hard time. I use my cell to check and read post here on PA.  I still like the tips!

I was thinking that bow must have some serious string alignment issues......
Next time you do some overlays try making them 2 inches long, then you'll be able to blend them into the limb better.

Looks good to me ,can't wait to see the rest of it, and don't mind Mikey he don't agree with hardly anybodys work.

That's sure is looking great I love the color of the tips.  Is that a cloth backing?

[Mohawk13]

Matt,
          Yes. It is cloth backing. The first bow I made had natural snake skin. It must have been past prime as the bow stinks to high heaven. I found a close match to it and it is a heavier cotton fabric. Goes on real smooth with TBII and takes the poly real well...I have some extra if anyone might need a piece or two....

    I decided to go with the cloth backing as I feel it will hold up better in inclement weather, as I will be hunting Siberia and The Northwest Territories this year. Also Oregon. Wasn't sure how the natural skin would hold up to weather fluctuations, and I have a feeling the cloth will take the extremes much better....
