Title: Hickory curve-auction bow
Post by: hammertime on October 26, 2012, 10:23:31 pm

Here is a bow I made for a Christian school auction in our area.Heat treated Hickory,60",55#@26"of pull.Rat snake wraps at the curves.It settled in a little but still zips a arrow and is a pleasure to shoot.Tung oil finish,5 coats.Hickory is still a great bow wood-Hammertime(http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd464/jeffreyakolste/jbows05063.jpg?t=1351296182)
