ASTB Charity Bow (changed handle)
« on: July 07, 2011, 11:40:05 pm »
My wife, thankfully came home from the hospital after being gravely ill. So this week I've been her nurse, and when she has been sleeping, which has been a lot, I've been scraping away. This little project helped keep me from completely losing my mind.
So between nursing and mincing over rule changes I managed to get this one about ready. Need to build a string and serve it up is about it.

Winged Elm, 64" ntn, 1 5/8" at the dips tapering to 3/8" at the tips, Osage tip overlays, & pulling 50 pounds at 28 inches.
I'm pleased with the smooth draw and just how quiet it is. This one will be donated to the Alabama Society of Traditional Bowmen, if they'll have it. They raise money for the likes of Children's Hospital, a worthy cause if ever there was one.

 Yes Sir! That looks sweet! The tiller is dead on. I'll have to catch the second shoot but mine is coming your way also.

ps. is Sterling part of that group? If so tell him I said hi. ;)

Ooooo....ahhhhhh. nice lines all around on that one Dave. Is that from the stash you cut this winter? And did you use a plastic bag and dye for the finish effects on the back. It turned out dang nice man. Im sure they'll have that one to raise money for charity. God bless you sir

Great looking bow.  I really like the way you finished the back.  I will be sending you a PM.

Sterling and Krista are part of the group...if they aren't looking for sunken treasure or caribou hunting in Alaska or on a spring bear hunt or something like that.  Bill
