well this is my very first PA Bow trade.
much like the rest of us on the west coast i made a Vinemaple bow.
i really wanted the recipient to love this bow and use it often. i read, during the stalking phase of this trade that my recipient likes 'simple' bows. so i tried to do just that.
i tried to make it look like it was made 50 yrs ago, left some scrapper marks in it and did a simple elk leather strap wrap.
was a tricky tiller for the most part.
top limp has a deflexed bump, and the bottom has a reflex kink.
had to make a repair just below the upper tip overlay where i nicked it with the band saw :/
heat treated and hits like a Hammer.
i hope you like it!
