A bow for me(not for BOM)

[Timo]

I got this stave from Shannon last your at the classic. It’s winged elm, 61” 48# @28”. The skins are from a Split tailed Borneo python. (I Traded Nate out of it.)  The pics don’t do the beauty of these skins any justice; you’ll just have to take my word for it. Got any more Nate? The tip over’s are buffalo horn. The handle is something very new to me. After seeing One eyes how to about it I knew I wanted to try it. I had remembered a while back that Greg B had made a Dogwood bow and had a handle wrap on it as such and I really like the look. It is by far the toughest wrap I have ever tried. Thanks for the tutorial One eye.

I heat tempered the belly just out to mid limb, and then dyed it with anilines to cover the darkened wood. This bow will be my hunting bow for the upcoming season. Very pleased with its performance.
Thanks for looking.

Beautiful bow Tim. You do great work. The handle detail is great,  good luck hunting with it, I hope it makes you plenty of meat.

One question:  Did you use dry heat or steam to add reflex to the limbs?  I'm working on an elm bow now that I'm considering reflexing the limbs, and was wondering what method works best with elm.

Tim,

That is gorgeous!  I like everything about it.  The skin is nice but it only compliments already outstanding craftsmanship, what skins should do   I don't have any more of those, that's a once in a blue moon kind of skin

Gorgeous. The only think I do not like about it is that I can't vote for it in this month's BoM!

Very nice bow. I like the whole combination of things. The horn, the skin, the grip and stain job all goes very nice together. Excellant job.
