Bow For Half Eye
« on: June 09, 2016, 09:25:24 pm »
Black Locus
55" long
50#@25"
Left 2 rings for natural tip overlays
Fumed for 7 days with 5 coats of tung oil and satin clear spray
Half Eye like bendy bows so that's what I built I'm leaving it all wood no handle wrap. He likes to shoot off his hand. Also I will let him post a FD pic

Sharp looking stick. I really like the extra rings instead of overlays!  Very nice.

Nice work!  That fuming gave the black locust a beautiful color.
