Title: Got me a new bow, thanks Mr. Rhodes
Post by: half eye on June 09, 2012, 09:31:30 pm
Me and Hrohodes made us a little trade of bows....got to believe I got the best end of this deal too >:D. It's a winged elm beauty and I dont know exactly what it draws but my scale says 50#@20" and it's all I got to get to full draw....what a bow, cant hardly wait to get used to it and get me a michigan deer with her!!!! This one and the monster that bubby built me probably make good elephant bows.....just hope I can find my arrows when the deer's down ::)

Anyways, she reminds me of the early Holmegaards, and it's fast and smooth. Howard, aint nothin wrong with this bow and it's as fine as anybody makes, probably better than mine, just a fact. I thank you for her. Ya tamed this knarly ole stave into an outstanding bow. Sorry for the poor pics, as the wife wasn't really feelin up to it.....

Looks good from here, Rich. You and Howard....private deal, huh.  ;)  I wonder how Howard came out. I gotta get in on one of those, sometime. I got my hands full with the trade bow right now, though.

  Glad you like it Rich!  I saw where I missed the postal delivery on Saturday >:(!  Your bow is at the Post Office and I am picking it up this morning.  I can't wait to get my hands on it.
  Thanks for your comments guys.  I think winged elm might be my favorite wood to work with, all things considered. 
Good luck with her Rich.  I like the thought of that little southern bow doing work up in the north woods. ;)
