Maple Bow For Eagle Scout
« on: April 26, 2014, 07:48:27 pm »
Here is a bow I made for a young man who just earned his Eagle Scout.
I will be giving it to him tomorrow evening at his court of honor. 
Hope he likes it.

That's flippin' superb.  What a clean bow!  Nice trapping on the back as well - don't seem to see it very often, this should serve as an excellent example to those curious about trapping a bow's back.

Well done mate.

Thanks guys!

@ WillS Thanks man. I've been trapping the backs of most of the bows I've been making recently even if it's just a little bit mainly to reduce mass and I just think it looks cool.  Thanks again.

Arrowind, I don't understand what "trapping" means. This is a very nice bow and I like the way you shaped the tips. I think the young man will love and treasure it!

Very very well done! I'm sure he will be honored and will cherish it for a long time to come! I personally know what it takes to achieve the rank of Eagle! I received 2 eagle feathers at my Court of Honor! Well done again, you should be proud! Patrick
