Trademark or signature bow tip style pics wanted
« on: April 03, 2011, 01:15:57 pm »
I have noticed that many bowyers have a signature bow tip style that they use.  I am thinking of doing the same and I am looking for ideas.  Please post pictures of your favorite tips!

I keep pretty consistently to two styles. One is kind of bullet shaped for when I use an overlay and the other is just a half rounded point for when there is no overlay. I've also done some where the overlay goes past the bow wood but I've found that it can easily be chipped off in that style. Not really signature just what I like.

I like a minimalist overlay on my flatbows.

I'm still evolving my preferred style of horn nock for ELBs, some of my earlier ones look a tad weird.
This is one of my fave's with 2 Silver rivets set through it on a Lady's bow.

I've grown to like my double nock wood overlays. My favorite of the bunch is on this bow (sorry, no close ups of the tips):


Here's another similar one but the shape and polish isn't quite as good as the black tips in the above photo:

I like tie on nocks for longer bows...simpler thank tip overlays for me for the narrow tips.  Anything 48" or under I just use pin nocks.
