Title: Maple Bow
Post by: Barrage on March 04, 2012, 07:22:55 pm

I realized I hadn't posted much recently, so here is the latest bow.  It's laminated hard maple, stained black with leather dye.  Haven't stained a bow in a long time, but this was made for my cousin and I thought she'd like it.  Pulls ~30-35 lbs at 26", 67" ntn.  Only was able to shoot at my 5 yard bowmaking target, but it seemed like it should have no issue getting the job done.

Thanks for looking.
