Still my favorite bow so far.
« on: October 24, 2013, 06:27:37 am »
While waiting for my computer glitches to be fixed I thought I'd share with you another bow I made some years back. It is an elm Møllegabet type bow with slight recurved tips. It is 70"L and 85# at 28". It is also my longest shooter to date. I have a 283 yard length field across the street from my house with woods beyond then a river and I have lost several nice arrows of various types; 2 were broadhead hunting arrows. I even took to painting my arrows bright orange and still lost them. Anyways thanks for looking. Oh the bow is all wood no backing just a black lacquer paint and gold leaf with metallic red accents.

I can see why you say that about the bow.  Looks like a really efficient design and the artwork you did looks first rate.  Very nice!
