Sent this one to Dave a few month back in exchange for the fine osage/copper head static he made for me. The stave was given to me by Paulsemp and was a perfectly pipe straight piece of hackberry. Don't really remember the exact specs on the bow but somewhere around 57" to 59" ntn and mid to low 40#'s @ 27".
I think it started out around 60" but I piked it in an attempt to get some weight back as it came in under weight. Still ended up low draw weight but I figured Dave already has a stable full of hard hitting hunting bows.
Finish is ground earth pigments mixed with alcohol with the red accents are acrylic paint, all with tru oil on top. Handle is bare with some wood burned designs on the side and with only sinew wraps placed for locator to hand placement. Wanted to keep it somewhat true to the style of a n/a bow and force Dave to be a knuckle'r shoot'r.
Realized that I've been making bows but haven't posted some of them lately so thought I would put this
out there for all to see.
