Its green colored pencil shaved into powder and mixed with 2 part epoxy I did it in this color because it was Saint Patrick's Day I was working the limbs down and I plucked out a small pin Knot and I decided to fill it with epoxy and color it green for Saint Patrick's Day :-)

Tattoo Dave.

thank you man, I made it heavy on purpose because usually I find at least with English longbows when I work with Yew it tends to take some set and I guess you could say it breaks in a little bit and loses a few pounds so in case it does that I want to end up with at least a 60 to 65 pound bo I want to use it to take Elk with

Post by: Badly Bent on March 19, 2015, 10:02:07 pm: Looks good, hope you get a chance on a elk this fall, I'd say that bow will get the job done easily.

Post by: jeffp51 on March 20, 2015, 05:28:40 pm: It looks really nice. I really like the look of that Yew. If you try for BOM, can you post some FD pictures with the bow straight up and down? It is a little difficult to judge the tiller with it tilted.

Post by: rockrush69 on March 25, 2015, 12:57:10 pm: thank you guys SO much for all the compliments! I've never went out for a bowl of the month before that's the only reason I was asking you guys I've never even submitted a picture so I don't even know how to but if its a pain in the butt to do I'm really not that worried about it anyways but thank you guys SO much for all of the compliments and I will try to get a post up here or should I say a picture up today of this Bo that is a straight on shot of me pulling it to full draw I had my 8 year old daughter taking those pictures and number one I tend to tilt the bow when I shoot it and number 2 she is much shorter than me so she was taking all the pictures up at an angle anyways as always thank you guys SO much for showing all the support and love and have a good time making bows my friends

Post by: Peacebow_Coos on March 25, 2015, 10:54:03 pm: Looks like a sweet shooter. If you can hit groups like that with it then it's a keeper in my book.
