Title: Hickory trade bow finished
Post by: tattoo dave on May 31, 2011, 09:41:06 pm

Hi all, So I finished my trade bow. I thought I would give the new owner a sneek peek. ;D It's a hickory board bow, just under 62'' long, 1.5'' wide, 58# @28''. There is a good amount of artwork on the back which I can not show off now, the new owner will have to do that. I made a dacron string with rabbit fur silencers, and will be making an arrow or two to send with it. Hope you all like it. thanks for looking.

Post by: tattoo dave on June 04, 2011, 01:32:18 pm

Well folks, it's on it's way. I put it in the mail today, should be there Monday they're telling me. To the new owner, I hope you like it, and hope it's with you for many years and many hunting outings. I would love to see some pics if you ever shoot anything with her. Keep in mind, I'm still fairly new to building bows. I doubt you will have any problems, but if you do I'll be happy to send another. I did the best I could. It's a little rough around the edges, but that's how I like my bows. Function is a lot more important than looks if you ask me. Anyway, hope you like it, and happy hunting!! ;D

I arrived home today to find a mysterious white tube. after opening it up I was suprised to see this bow. thank you so much Dave! the artwork is fantastic and the arrow is really cool, I will put it in my arrow collection. the wind was blowing hard today so I couldnt shoot it much, but I am going to put some arrows through it in the morning. I have made lots of bows for people, but this is the first time someone made one for me, and I am truly grateful. I will take some pics of the artwork tomorrow. thanks again ;D
