I got my trade bow! Scalloped Elm Bow 47#@26"
« on: July 11, 2016, 07:22:24 pm »
After I pounced on the poor unsuspecting postman and ripped off the packing material I found this beautiful masterpiece from Greg (Badly Bent). I've been drooling over his work for some time now and I'm very stoked to own one of his lovely bows. Let me tell you, there's nothing badly bent about this bow. It is made of elm and has a scalloped design on the sides. The tips are overlaid with rawhide and the handle wrap is soft leather with deer fur trim. It's around 47#@26 inches. It draws super smooth and I can't wait to rip some arrows through it. It's the perfect draw weight. I don't have a bow that shoots in that weight range right now and I've been wanting one. Thanks Greg, it's awesome and it will be cherished for years to come.

Oh man that's a beauty
How does one scallop it like that and prevent it from lifting splinters?

Just put in in the mail saturday Weylin, I can't believe it got to you that quick. I'm glad your liking it so far, hope it shoots good from the left side for you. To be honest I think you make it look better with your photography than I think it looks in person.  ;D
Glad I got your name in the draw, was fun making a midwest bow for PNW guy who's work I've always really admired.
