here's my first self bow that I got to build with the help (much appreciated
) of Knightd, when I showed up at Nugget's get together in N.C. with no bow. It's white elm with lacewood tips, buckskin handle with an antler shelf. hope you all like it.....

it's 64" tip-tip... I stained the bow with 1 coat of stain, then hand painted the stripes with India ink, then applied 2 more coats of stain. followed by 3 coats of poly, steelwooling between, then 2 coats of paste wax

Great job on that one. I like the camo on the back. Might have to try that. David is a good guy to learn from. He's helped me out over the phone. Nothing like learning from someone that knows what they're doing.
