Title: birch backed black walnut, finished pics & bow porn added
Post by: bubby on September 06, 2012, 07:52:34 pm

i've had this in the works for a while now, eastern black walnut board stock, backed with some birch that i got from halfeye, still stretching her out some ,started shooting @ 24" and will end up 29", 66" ntn, 1 7/8 @ the fades, pyramid taper with glued on reflexed tip's, still got some sanding and finish to do but thought i'd post some pic's, it's still nice and flat after being strung and shot some, Bub(http://i623.photobucket.com/albums/tt320/bubncheryl/Picture002-36.jpg)

Sweet bow Bubby!! That Rich guy is an awfully generous fellow. I have a maple backed birch molle in the process. The Birch also came from Rich. Where's that full draw pic? Gotta love walnut too.

Sweet bow Bubby, you finished her up real nice. That wood grain is real pretty both back and belly and I really like how you built up the tips. Looks like a smooth shooter too. Nice piece of work.

thank's Greg, thank's Mattthe tip's are fairly easy to do, the hard part is getting it sanded down without going into the back on the bow, Bub

That bow is outstanding in every respect. And you sir are the king of "flat" ,me and my "curved" unbraced profiles will go and hide now 8) The draw shape on her is porn for sure, it's a good-un.

thank's coaster, pappy, josh, rich, i appreciate the compliment's, wanted to try someting differant wood wise and thought that the birch would almost give a sapwood look to the bow, plus i wanted to try out the birch as a backer, seem's to be a fine choice, Bub
