Wood carving bow rest

(1/4) > >>

Ruddy Darter:
Hi all,
 I got into some carving during lockdown along side of some bow making and I made this shooting line bow rest out of some oak and British ash offcuts with some local Holly for the Fleur de lis and handle scales. It was a fun making and I thought I'd share it on here.
All the best,
R.D.

Pat B:
I love your carving, RD and this is an exceptional and practical piece. Beautiful!   :OK :OK

Ruddy Darter:
Thank you very much Pat B, I've enjoyed making this, I'm looking forward to working on a couple more I got on the go. The Holly is a real pleasure to work.
 R.D.

Pat B:
Do you find that holly checks easily? I had a friend that loved carving holly but some of his pieces checked. He did a real cool pig from a holly tree trunk but it checked pretty deeply along the back.
 The color contrasts in your piece really sets it off.  :OK

Hawkdancer:
That is an excellent piece of carving!!  My bow would be proud to rest on that! :OK :OK :OK
