Title: Finished a bow. Bamboo backed hickory(pics).
Post by: Prarie Bowyer on September 24, 2011, 02:50:14 pm

Finaly got into my photobucket account.  This bow was a real pleasure to make.  Shoots realy well.  Materials are sap wood hickory, bamboo, walnut and antler.

I definately want to do more like this.  Sorry about that goofy guy in the last pic.  He keeps coming around and wont go away. ;D

I love everything about this bow.  I just need to do the handle wraps.  I wanted to do it blue.  I thought about that cotton needle point thread.  Maybee weave different shades of blue togeather.  I have a feeling it wont hold up.

Good one, congratulations! And tout wrap idea may hold up better if you wrap than seal it.I've had good luck doing it with spar urithane ;)
