Modern art (?) pyramid bow

[Almostpighunter]

Thanks all!!! I figured the art would be outside the realm of what we do on this forum but I am very grateful from those who, even though the art may not be what they would want on a bow, were still able to find such supportive and positive things to say. This forum is the best!

The whole art thing started as my wanting to tattoo or "sleeve" the rawhide on one of my bows. I am going to be playing with this idea for a while so I hope you guys will endure some more... if I can scrape up the time to get them done .

[bowandarrow473]

Very well made!

[Emmet]

Well That's a real sweetheart of a bow. Love everything about it. Very nice!

The art/finish work is exceptional.  The tiller looks a bit off on the lower limb though.  Maybe it's just me since no one else seemed to notice.  She's a beauty nonetheless!  Josh

If Jimmy Hendrix shot bows, I think this one would be right up his alley. Seems psychedelic to me. Very cool and unique for sure.

To my eyes, the lower limb in the middle third it appears ever so slightly stiffer.  I think the paint on the back was just a bit thicker there... 

Pretty bow sir.  I wish I had such talent.  The kewl thing is that the wood working craftsmanship on the belly is not out paced by the over the top artwork on the back.

By looking at the back, I'm assuming this bow is intended for the range and not the woods, ...but who uses a 72 pound draw weight for target shooting???

Lol!  I hear ya Eric.  It is slight, but what I'm seeing is the inner 8 inches or so of the bottom limb looks just a bit stiff.  Like I said it could just be that my tiller eye is out of calibration.  The paint scheme looks like my favorite Hawaiian shirt from high school.  Beautifully done.  Josh

Cool...just cool!

@Onebowonder: I tend to hunt in areas where there are many, many wildflowers that bloom in only bright, and often neon colors, so the bow should blend right in. It is my favorite place to hunt as many things can be enjoyed by just watching nature in this area. There has been the occasional pixie sighting at the base of the big rock candy mountain, which is the largest geographical landmark used as a locating point on my GPS, and there is currently no bag limit on the saber-toothed jakalopes this year. Definitely a target rich environment for the bowhunter who can properly conceal himself. Oh! By the way, the camouflage of choice is tie-dye if you'd like to join me in the future.

Mike I was in Vegas a couple months ago.  By your description, I think that I might of wandered through your hunting area.  I didn't realize that you could hunt in the casino lobby. Josh

Just try not to get all whacked out and light it on fire.

I think that's awesome. Wish I had a drop of your artistic talent. Very cool, and as everyone has said, great tiller.

Purple Heart huh? Looks like a bow wood to me.

I love it! And if you want to blend in with a bunch of drunken teenagers, there's nothing better!
