Title: Hickory Backed Elm Bow w Water Buffalo Horn Nocks
Post by: Lehtis on June 17, 2015, 02:47:43 am
Hei!
I made this bow as 30y birthday gift to my sisterīs son in law. Heīll get this in August 20th. Hopefully one gadget shooter will be converted to traditional style this way.

The buildalong pics, I hope, show the process. A bit of mahogany stain on bow before several layers of Danish Oil. Dacron string and leather handle.
