Title: Bow For Half Eye
Post by: ---GUTSHOT---> on June 09, 2016, 09:25:24 pm: Black Locus
55" long
50#@25"
Left 2 rings for natural tip overlays
Fumed for 7 days with 5 coats of tung oil and satin clear spray
Half Eye like bendy bows so that's what I built I'm leaving it all wood no handle wrap. He likes to shoot off his hand. Also I will let him post a FD pic(http://i1278.photobucket.com/albums/y506/psmith311/DSCN1126_zpstwapecuj.jpg) (http://s1278.photobucket.com/user/psmith311/media/DSCN1126_zpstwapecuj.jpg.html)

Post by: ---GUTSHOT---> on June 10, 2016, 09:50:26 pm: Thanks guys for the compliments. I like to leave some tooling marks in my bows so they look like somebody made them instead of a machine.
Ajooter yes rich says his draw length is 25 but I ? It too. LOL
wizard goat yes Simson is a inspiration to me and maybe everybody on here. I just really like the fuming process and the way it gives it an aged look.
