It turned out really good, Bubby. I really like those flipped contrasting tips!!

Title: Re: hickory bow in the works , new pics added
Post by: bubby on February 20, 2012, 06:09:31 pm

finally got her done, hickory with black walnut and black locust handle area with locust  reflexed tips with black walnut overlay's. this one started out with a little deflex but with the flipped tip's set's dead even with the back of the grip and shoot's smooth,and deliver's my650 grain boo arrows with authority ;D, and it's very fast with a lighter carbon arrow, all in all i'm pretty happy with the outcome and my son is gonna have to decide if he want's a leather grip on it, i like the wood look, hope ya like her, Bub(http://i623.photobucket.com/albums/tt320/bubncheryl/Picture006-5.jpg)
