Title: Lil Boa Bow (BOM)
Post by: NTD on September 18, 2009, 08:07:38 pm

Okay guys I've got her all finished up.  Hope you enjoy.  For those who didn't follow my other thread this bow is a red oak board, 64"tl 62" ntn 1" wide until mid limb straight taper to 5/8" tips.  It was built for my wife and draws 30lbs @ 24" but the full draw pictures I'm showing are 41lbs @ 28".  It is stained colonial maple and has a Boa skin backing.  I used the "Cooper" style grip with some leather risers underneath.

Very nice bow. I love your choice of skin. I used to have one of those (the snake not the bow). Congrats, enjoy.

 Pretty looking bow, that will get you some points. You did a good job on the Tiller.

Thanks for the nice comments guys.  And yes Mullet it scored a few points  ;) :-X 
I've got 2 more red oak boards to turn into bendy sticks and then I think I'll be ready to tackle my stack of Ipe for some BBI Longbows.  As nice a bow as red oak boards will turn out it will be nice to graduate to something else for awhile.  Thanks again guys!
