(1/7) > >>

OldBow:
Congratulations to Jesse Smith of Abrams, Wisconsin
His "Hers" from the His and Hers Set of Bamboo backed Ipe
is Laminate Bow of the Month for Februaryhttp://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/index.php/topic,11521.0.htmlJesse battled with himself on this one. His "His" member of the set almost won. ;)
My wife asked me to make her a pink bow that no guy would want to shoot  We settled on a pink fade in the bamboo like a
sunset so hers is named "sunset'. Its boo backed ipe with an ipe power lam and a stripe of maple in the handle. Elk antler ovelays.
Hers is les than 3/4" at the widest and pulls an even 40#@26"  64" ntn. by far the thinnest bow ive made.  The next bow is mine
its a r/d tri lam boo back, maple core, and ipe belly. also with elk overlays. It is real sweet and fast. I was actualy trying for a bit
more poundage but the early weight fooled me and it gains very gradual in the draw. it pulls a hair over 50# @ 27" 66" ntn 1 1/8
at fades tapering to a little under 3/8" tips. Thanks for looking  - Jesse
These folks know a well-made bow when they see one.
"GREAT LOOKING BOWS ! look like a couple of meat makers for sure.." - hawkbow
"Beautiful looking bows, Jesse. The contrast between the wood is striking. The deep cut in shelves are so smooth and rounded
they look like they are molded. Sweet!" -mullet
"That is a priceless set of bows.  Good work." - Justin
