Vine maple bow...sapling....friendship bow
« on: July 30, 2012, 01:13:59 am »
Well, been busy with other things in life but here is another bow that got finished not too long ago. This is a vine maple sapling bow 64 NTN 1 1/4 inches wide....I can't find my scale...but I think it is around 45-50lbs if I remember right. Although the pics a crap, tried to go for a antigue look on the stain work, and a simple corded handle wrap which I really like..easy, comfortable. Gordon need your camera skills. ;D

Yep, pictures stink but the bow is a looker. that first pic would be a beaut if you could see the vine maple character bumps better ( I love that about it). great job

Good bow more important than good pictures and that looks to be a good one, nice work.

Nice bow.   I really like the stain work you did.  Looks cool!
