Title: white oak board bow finished.
Post by: Rob W. on January 17, 2016, 10:24:59 am

In the middle of working on a couple osage bows I had time to finish up this white oak. I actually started it about 6 years ago and stopped at floor tiller for some reason. It has been through a lot. I stripped the backing off it a few times because I didn't like the look. 67" ntn 45#@28". It's linen backed and dyed brown.

That's a great looking board bow.  Your bow must be at an angle for your full draw pic.  Kinda hard to tell about it.  Really like your finish work.
