Fathers Day Bow
« on: June 20, 2009, 05:27:29 pm »
Here is a bow I made for my Father. It is Eastern Red Cedar Backed with Rawhide. It is 35# @ 28" 66" long. Idid the decoration with some pastel art chalk and sealed it with poly. It is a nice shooting bow and hits were I aim it. My father has been wanting a bow for a while and this piece of cedar I got from knightd was screaming to be made into a bow, so I answered the call of the wood and here it is. I love working with cedar.

Thanks Marvin. I did not have any earth pigments, so I used what I had.

Cool bow TJ. I'm sure Dad will love it. Cedar is a wood that intrigues me but through experience, also makes me wince. ;D I need to try again.

Thanks guys. boo this one is not as fast as the other. It has more mass in the limbs.This piece of cedar was not as tight as the last couple pieces I have worked with. This one was still kinda thick and was already low in weight. I need to make some lighter bullets for it and try it again.
