Trade Bow for TradGang bow trade
« on: August 07, 2014, 11:50:53 am »
This is my 4 attempt to get a bow built for the TG bow trade. Fred Arnold sent me a nice stave in trade for some cane. I popped a belly split off of the stave and this is the top half. She's 66"t/t and pulls 50#@29". I've put about 60 arrows through her and will shoot more before she goes out. The stave had a few issued, none bad but I opted to rawhide back her. She is a tad bit shocky because to the tips being wider than normal due to a few checks near the tips. This is some very nice, heavy osage with reddish streaks and it was a pleasure to work with. Thanks again Fred. Here are a few pics. Sorry no full draw yet...

Tell me about it, Pearlie. I've never had so much go wrong trying to get a bow built. The others weren't too bad, just not trade quality. I gave one of them to KOAN and one to Auggie at the Classic.

Nice looking bow pat, did you use the plastic bag trick to stain the rawhide?

Looks fantastic Pat. Glad that wind checked wood did the job.
I found many years ago that it is much easier and more rewarding working with those that don't know anything than those that know it all.
