BBO for a Steelers fan
« on: November 11, 2009, 08:53:34 am »
Here's a bow I made for a lady in Dallas that is a Pittsburgh Steelers fan. When her husband called and said he wanted to get her a black and yellow bow, I told him I'd have to do some thinking on it and see what I could come up with. Well I wanted to use gaboon ebony, but it's a little pricey, so I went with some black phenolic. It was the first time I had used phenolic and I was surprised how easy it was to work. First time to dye the bamboo all black also. I think all in all it turned out good. Let me know what you think.
Specs...
60"
40#@28"
1 1/8" at fades
3/8" tips

That's one beautiful bow John! Love the contrasting laminations and the black boo. Lady from Dallas should love it.

Evidently this is a glass bow because of the phenolics used. Not for BOM
