OK...I have rubbed in 5 coats of Beeswax / Bear Grease Sealer that I made into the Bow...She has a slight shine from all the rubbing...I hope you like it.... I changed the Bow a Bit from what I had started with here are the Final Specs....The Bow is 63 inches NTN....1 inch at the Grip...tapering to 1 3/4" at the Fades....then it stay as close to the Natural width as possible around the Knotts all the way to the last 7 inches ...where I started to taper the Limbs down to the 3/8" Tips...It came in at 55# @ 29" of Draw

That tiller is about as good as it gets. That is a very nice bow. Guess we could even lower the rating on the full draw shot to PG13 now. |

Thanks Guys....It was a Stress Reliever to build this when I did...and considering how Stressed I was waiting for my Son...I am surprised that it turned out at all....  ....You know what they all preach about being in a Rush ...if you are in a Hurry or Your Mind ain't in it....put it down and walk away....well I am glad I didn't this time!! Ryan...same Sweats....just made sure that they were hiked Up where they belonged in this Picture...not hanging like a Teenager with a pair of JNCO Jeans on.......... |

Here's a very fine bow by El Destructo posted earlier this year. Anybody ever figure out what kind of wood it is?

Thanks Guys...I appreciate the kind Words for the Bow....and Yes...thats a New Pair of Sweats.... that were hiding in the Drawer...but now that I seen my 30 Pack hanging out in the last pictures...I put them to use here.... Don...if I didn't cut it myself...I would swear that it was Persimmon...but We have no Persimmon here...so I am sticking with the overall decision...that it's Soapberry |
