Here is one of my latest red oak experiments. It is 67" tip to tip. 1/3/4 at the fades and 1/4 at the tips. It is 55# at 28". the tips and handle risers are made of osage. the silencers are coon fur. the arrow rest is built up leather, which was a first that is definitely gonna be included on future bows. Used red, black leather dye and a shelac finish. It took bout 1/1/2 of set after being shot in, but is still the quickest red oak ive made so far. Ty

Great looking bow. My wife commented on how much she liked the red/black contrast. :)

The oak portion of the limb took two coats of the red to get that color. the first coat left it lookin like a pink and black valentine bow. The osage on the handle only required one coat and it turned a beautiful color of red. cant wait to use this technique on an all sage bow. 8)

Very nice Ty! Love the colors.

Good job!!!

Red and black those were my high school colors. Nice bow.
-
Very nice bow!

Very well done! I see what you mean on how well the osage handle picked up the red. The colors do look great and man, those are some nicely thinned down tips. Bet it shoots well. Great job!

the tips were osage and i actually sharpened them down to an edge when i made them, it gave a pretty cool stealth bomber look after i dyed it black i thought, you cant really tell from the side pic though :P

Great looking bow,love the finish work and the tips are awesome. :)

Howdy Aries,
Is that a straight-tapered pyramid Bow? :o I LIKE IT!!
I'll be heading down to the man cave now to lay out me next Red Oak Board Bow.
At the fades, what is the beginning width?
Thanks for sharing,

Very nice work on this bow. Hurray for red oak I always say! Bookmarked for Feb Self BOM fun, too.
-
Good going! I like how the tips narrow and from what I can see the tiller looks good. ;)
-
Couldn't look any better.I love it.
-
Very nice bow! Always nice to see a red oak - still one of my favorites. What is that string made of?
-
That's a spectacular looking bow! The tips look almost too petite from the profile view - the way the chamfer cuts so close to the back of the nock. Gorgeous!
Any chance of a close up shot of the stacked leather rest? What impressed you so much about it?
-
Fine looking weapon. Nice detail work, too.
-
Thanks every one!! ;D Hatcha: this is just the first bow i have stacked a leather rest on, instead of cutting it out of the wood. I just really enjoyed the simplicity of adding it onto the bow and the extra accuracy i gain by using it. Ill see what i can do about a picture this evening
-
REALLY like the bow. two of my fav colors. Nice taper. Be Very proud.
