Jeremy's Second bow
« on: August 30, 2010, 12:54:22 pm »
Hi, everybody.  I am very proud of my friend Jeremy's second bow.  It is a bamboo-backed hickory bow that he made almost all with hand tools.  It is 62" long, 56# @27".  The hickory belly and riser are backed with heat-treated bamboo and glued-in reflex/deflex.  The neat color on the edge of the riser is from the heartwood of the hickory.  He scorched the camo look on the bamboo and put walnut covered deer antler tips on it.  He used leather dye for the dark belly color.  I think he did a great job.  He has been working with me on bow-building for about a year and is really getting good, don't you think?

looks like a very nice bow from Jeremy. The only thing is to take more wood oout towards the tips, itll make it faster. For a second bow its magnificents. Good job.

Great handle work and I especially like the burnt look on the limbs.

Thanks, everyone.  Jeremy is so fired up reading these comments.  He loves bow building now, and that is the whole idea, right?  He is working on an osage stave I gave him, so I hope we will have another one to show you later.
