Title: Diesel and Stetsons Christmas bows
Post by: dane lund on December 08, 2013, 04:41:27 pm
ok, as most of you know, I've desperately been trying to get these two done.  I am currently working on another one in Vine Maple from Echo Archery.  THANKS CARSON!!!!

The first is a 58" nth, 20lb @ 22",Hickory backed, ERC that started out as a bow for myself, then after a mishap with a bandsaw, became one for my grandson Stetson.

The next is a linen backed hickory board bow, 46" nth, 18lbs @ 18", for my 4 yr old grandson Diesel, The first one broke, and as you can see, this one will hold together, in the full draw, its WAY overdraw.  Real snappy little shooter.  Kind of surprised how quick it is.

It is going to be a Merry Christmas for your grandsons.  Nice work Dane.  I look forward to seeing how that vine maple turns out.

Those are beautiful. 

I've developed a phobia of the bandsaw.  Its like a viper that strikes when I least expect it.
