Title: Made a bow rack
Post by: Scottski on December 31, 2015, 06:42:23 pm

Finally got around to putting up my bow rack I made. It's made from vintage Bear arrows and Osage. Hung a couple turkey feathers I painted to add a lil to it. Now I need to make arrow rack for my trade arrows in the quiver. All but three are from trades on here. Hope you guys like it. I think I put this in the wrong spot!

Very nice thought out bow display rack there.Feathers look great too.Never did that yet.Looks time consuming.All free hand I suppose.Acrylic paint?Oh...... I'll take the top bow there.
Liked to see how you display your arrows.I'm just using large 2' cardboard tubes yet with a wooden plug at the bottom.Got more arrows than carter has liver pills but do have a couple dozen favorites.

Nice Job Scottski. 
I've been thinking about making a bow rack myself, for the same reasons you all listed.  Now I have a model to go by, thanks!

The Wife and I just had "discussion" about locating just such a rack in living room. Am pretty sure she wasn't convinced!
