Vine Maple trade bow ready to go out
« on: June 14, 2011, 02:35:17 am »
Ok here she is Vine Maple 58 tip to tip 56 ntn, 55# @ 26" and will pull to 28 where its pulling just over 60#. It has a charcoal stain and 5 coats of spar urethane. This is not the original bow I had in mind for the trade but I finished it a couple weeks ago and it has excellent cast and retained a decent amount of reflex with little to no set or string follow, and I just think it out shoots and performs the other bow I had wanted to use for the trade. It has some good character so the tillier doesnt look perfect but it is darn close ;D (notice the unbraced photo) I think xxxxxxxxxx will be pleased with it. ;D I plan on sending it out this week sometime.

Josh

full draw to come in a second

bottom limb is on the right in the unbraced pic, in the full draw pic the top limb looks a tad stiff mud limb or so but its tapered out good, I think its just the amount of reflex in that section of limb there ???

Very nice bow.  That tiller looks good to me.  I like the silencers.  Are they beaver fur?
