Tri-Lam ELB
« on: October 01, 2010, 01:56:47 pm »
New tri-lam ELB. Ash back, purpleheart core, osage belly. 64#@29". 75" NtN. Rawhide backed, with some special artwork done by my wife, Linda. This bow was a gift to a good friend, who helped us build a cabin this summer.

I also made my friend a hip quiver, and a dozen arrows with hand cut turkey feathers. The quiver has his family crest tooled in the top.

My wife made a stencil, transferred it onto the bow with carbon paper, and then drew over it with a very fine point sharpie permanent marker.
