Title: Grad present bow from the Classic
Post by: RyanY on May 16, 2013, 01:39:06 pm

Here's the second bow I made at the classic. It was a belly split off the bow I made for myself. Good piece of sage from osage outlaw (Thanks man!). I wanted this one to slightly resemble the first bow from the Hunger Games movie, even if she never realizes it. If I remember correctly it's 60" ntn and 30 something #'s at 26", 1.5" to mid limb tapering to 3/8" tips. Purple heart handle and tips. Also made her a matching set of arrows and a quiver as part of a package. Thanks for looking!

Nice job on it Ryan.  I'm glad you were able to get two bows out of that stave.  The quiver and arrows top it off nicely.  I'm sure she will like it.

Totally awesome, again,  Ryan! That "friend" of yours will really like it...I'm sure. She must be pretty special...you smiled every time you mentioned her...and you used the "best" wood for her bow.

Good looking bow and that quiver is very cool.

You made good work with having a knot that size that far out in the limb too.

I'm sure your friend will like it.  :)

Being that it's made out of inferior osage, that bow turned out pretty sweet Ryan!!   ;) ::) 8)

Thanks HoBow!

Thanks Cody!  ;)

Thanks Pappy! I miss it a ton! Can't wait to make it down again sometime.  :)

Lyle, I become a mad man at these gatherings!  >:D

Thanks rps3!

Thanks Chuck! Maybe the hole?

Thanks Christian Soldier! It was my first one with a hole in the limb but oddly didn't feel like it.

Thanks adb! I like to use all kinds of woods. Even the inferior ones.  >:D

She was very happy to receive the set and really wants to take it out for a spin.

Hey Ryan, how about a dozen long stem arrows for her birthday? I actually gave my wife the idea and she took a dozen arrows to the florist and had them put them in an arrangement for me...very cool!
