Another Red Oak Board Shooter
« on: September 17, 2009, 04:38:37 pm »
I asked some advice awhile ago on what to do with a 1" wide piece of scrap that I had.  Well here it is.  64" total length 62" ntn 1" wide till mid limb to 5/8" tips.  It turned out better than I could have hoped.  It draws 41lbs @ 28".  I actually made it for the wifey so it's 30lbs @ 24".   It has taken less set than I though only 1 1/2" and actually relaxes to just over an inch.

It is stained but no finish just burnished.  I have a small boa skin thawing right now that I plan to put on the back and will be doing a "Cooper" leather wrap after that.  Thanks for looking please let me know what you think.

Thanks guys.  Just got done skinning the snake and laying it on the bow.  I should have it trimmed up and finished tommorow.  I'll be submitting this one for BOM once I get finished pics, i think this one will be worthy.
