Vinemaple Bow..... pain in the BUTT!
« on: January 24, 2014, 07:41:58 pm »
this piece of viney didnt want to cooperate. tiller kept falling apart(partially my cocky attitude<---fixed) the dye wouldnt take in some areas AND while i was shooting it in the upper nock hit the rafter in the shop and snapped off! anyways this piece of junk has been wrestled and tamed and my ego has severely shrunk and im back on my humble knees. i was lucky enough to get the lost wieght back with some heat treatment.
and i need to stop taking pictures with my phone.....

64"NTN
50#@29"
Elk femur overlays
Prairie Rattler limb accents
and of course the John Strunk handle.


 










thanks for looking

Looks like you whooped it into shape in the end. You're really cranking out a lot of nice bows lately. Keep it up, buddy.

Looking great as usual.  What was the diameter of the branch you used for that one.  I like that braced profile.  Keep em coming.

Thank buddy! The wood I'm been collecting continues to pile up they need to be turned into bows before I run out of shop space ;)
Also I've come into a lot if free time!
