Title: Just another Vinemaple Bow
Post by: Bryce on November 17, 2015, 06:42:45 pm

I made this one a couple years ago, I realized I haven't shared a bow in a long time.
I dyed this one with a black and light brown learner dye.
Deer leather handle. Just a good ole basic deer hunt'n bow. Sweet shooter all around:)
62" NTN 47#@27"

Thanks for lookin:)

Hey Bryce,

Is the lower limb shorter than the upper?  It looks like the arrow is very well centered in the bow.  Very cool.

Nice looking bow Bryce. I need to give vine maple more of a chance, it makes such awesome light bows. The stuff here is so swirly grained though, my tools hate VM
