Title: Maple board bow
Post by: bubby on May 27, 2018, 09:40:49 pm

This is a 62" ntn maple board bow with some nice oak tips and handle. I used a golf tee for the rest , a nice leather grip, and since this is for a lady beads and turkey feathers as a decoration. About 42#@27"

Is that a pyramid bow? I like it, too bad I can't get maple boards here, or any other species than english oak basically.

Nice bow bubby. Must have posted this one when I was at Marshall. Either that or living in this tractor. I'm sure the lady will love it. That golf tee looks like it works great.

Thanks guys, I guess she liked it I got a great big hug😁 that's the best payment. She went out the day I gave it to her and was shooting.

 The handle is just right. The shape looks great and I bet it's comfortable. Would like to have a board like that!

bubby,
   That's a good looking Bow, I really like the contrasting colors of the different woods, feathers, and beads nice too. I really think it is worth 2 hugs myself... Lol.
 By the way, do you know what kind of tree is hanging over the fence in the 3rd picture ?
