Hickory Backed Elm Bow w Water Buffalo Horn Nocks
« on: June 17, 2015, 02:47:43 am »
Hei!
I made this bow as 30y birthday gift to my sister´s son in law. He´ll 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.
