Cameroo Wins June Backed BOM!
« on: July 10, 2011, 04:47:18 pm »
Congratulations to Cam Bergerman from Saskatoon, SK, Canada for winning June Backed Bow of the Month!

From Cam:
Finally finished up the trade bow after a couple failures, I guess the third time is the charm.  This is probably my best bow yet.  It's hickory-backed osage with osage and african mahogany on the tips, and about 67"ntn.  It pulls about 54lbs at 28 inches.  This was also my first attempt at a Strunk-inspired handle wrap.  The handle was built up with leather and wrapped with elk hide and kangaroo lace.  It turned out ok, but I think I would do it a little different next time and space the lace holes out more to see the "X" pattern better on the stitches down the middle.

I want to thank George for the osage and Adam for the hickory backing strip.

Here are some pics.  Comments/critiques welcome as always.  I hope the recipient likes it.

I think it turned out great Cam. Here's some great praise this bow recieved:
"If your recipient doesn't like it, I will pay the postage to have it shipped here!  Just perfect." -JW Halverson
"Awesome!  Good Job.  Who ever gets it should be very pleased."  -Arrowind
"Excellent work man! And good job on the grip, looks sweet!"  -Will H
"Great looking bow.  Looks like you learn quick.  Somebody is going to be excited to receive that." -Gaur
"Hey, Buddy! Nice work! Glad to see yah jump back up on that horse! Oooooh... fancy-schmancy on the tips! Very nice. Your tiller looks spot-on, as usual. Osage rocks, huh??"  -adb

Thanks for the votes guys.  This was definitely unexpected for me, being a relative "rookie" compared to most of you.  Even though there were only 8 backed bows to choose from this month, there are others that I consider more worthy of the win.  But I am flattered and humbled, and grateful for your support.  Thanks!!
