Southern Community Bow

Pat,
No sign of the rattan yet. I will repost my address to make sure you have the right one. I have one coat of tung oil on the bow right now. The tung oil showed a couple of spots around the handle that need a little more attention with sand paper so I will try to work on those tonight.

My pleasure, Pat.

Here are some pics. I still have to get a couple of big, fat bone beads, or something else suitable for the ends of the tie straps. Notice I made the tie string to look like a bow string, reverse twisted linen thread. The docorative band is tablet woven. I decided on green instead of red for the northern bow sock, as I just wasn't happy with how the red one came out.

Yours will be different looking, and maybe even nicer.

Dane, that sure looks a lot better'n a tater sack woulda looked!

Really nice, can't wait to see what the one you have in store for us yebs will look like!

[bullcreekboy]

Dane, you do some mighty fine work. 
Pat, I will keep my eyes open for the rattan.

[Dane]

Thanks, guys. Greg, looking back, I think that ratty tater sack might have been better.

I have two coats of tung oil on the bow. It is ready for the handle wrap and Tru-oil finish. What do you guys want written on the bow? By the way them skins sure do look purty with a finish on them.

I will try to get some pictures up in the next couple of days. I worked on the arrow rests tonight. I put one on both sides of the handle.
If no one objects here is what I will put on the bow:
Primitive Archer
     S.C.B.
  53# @ 28"
What do you guys think on the string? I think a black and red string would look good on the bow. All I have is black and yellow and I am not the best at a flemish string. Our would you guys rather have a linen string?

I think a dacron string for duribility. If it's OK, I will make a red and black B-50 string with one loop and a bowyers knot. If ya'll want 2 loops, someone else will have to make it.
   Somehow, everyone in the community needs to be acknowledged either by signing the bow( not very practical) or with a certificate to accompany the set.   Pat

And that is why I am making the certificates. Suitable for framing, with each person's name and their contributions on it. Eventually, I will need a list of each person and what they did. A bit confusing, so many have been a part of this so far.
