red oak board trade
« on: February 13, 2013, 10:48:37 pm »
I haven't been on much lately, so maybe I missed it, but what's happening with the board bow trade? I'm putting the finishing touches on my trade bow. Thought I would put a paint job on it just for fun, and I've been wanting to do a turkish inspired paint job. So, I hope the recipient will like it. I'd like to get some opinions on it before I send it out. So, here is a little teaser pic of the back. Thanks!!

Thanks fellas. I might add a little more paint to it, but not sure. I typically keep them simple as possible, just felt like doin something different.

Some vine to match would look pretty sweet.

Thanks everybody!!

 I think I'll put a handle wrap, and arrow rest on it, and send it out. Gotta make a string though.

Lostarrow...I broke a couple myself. It seems red oak doesn't steam bend very well. Maybe because the first 2 were so short though. I tried 2, both at 55", and tried to flip the tips, they both broke while bending. I stretched this one out a little, it's just over 61" ;)

I'll add a full draw pic later, after I make the string.
