Post by: knightd on August 06, 2008, 09:06:11 pm

I finished these yesterday the one with the stained boo is 60" ntn 53#@28" Osage and Ipe handle Osage tip over lay's. The other is 63"ntn 50#@28" The handle is Purple hart,Ipe,Osage and Cocobolo
 Limb tip over lay's are Hickory,Ipe and Osage. 3rd try at the dye job I think it looks a little better than the last one..

Don't lay that green one down in the grass you'll never find it. :) Both are very nice.

That side view unstrung is really nice. The bows look very slim. I bet they shoot fast!

David, They look real good in all aspects, r/d curve, outline, tip size and finish...Are you able to purchase the wood from a lumberyard? I know you have made a few of these.. It's real good to see ;D

David,  Very nice bows.......

 but couldn't help but wonder if that cut bush in the first picture became a bows or arrows!!  :D

  I've trimmed some of our bushes for arrows, but then who here hasn't!!  >:D
