elm willow leaf/molly
« on: November 06, 2016, 11:36:13 am »
Been messing with this design a bit and it seems to hold it's profile well.my plan was a D section at the handle,flaring out to a flat bow at the mids and down to narrow levers.my cousin Chery showed interest in a bow so this is what I came up with.55ttt,34#@24",finish,black and scarlet rit dye,horse leather handle,c/w beaver accents an ebony tips.thx's for looking!bush!
Some like motorboats,I like kayaks,some like guns,I like bows,but not the wheelie type.
