rawhide n' buckthorn
« on: March 21, 2014, 04:11:26 pm »
I just finished this up, rawhide backed buckthorn, 62"ttt and 54#@ 28", stave was a little wonky and I tried to match the reflex that was natural on the bottom limb but it came out twice so I figured it wasn't meant to be, I got the stave from badly bent thanks greg, she shoots nice and smooth and is pretty snappy, thanks for looking, bub

I thought I posted this pic, I used the rawhide because I noticed some dings in the back, this stuff is a bear to chase a ring on, stained the whole bow with golden oak stain and then used some walnut stain and a balled up plastic bag to get the pattern on the back, tips are mulberry, d-97 string 10 strands, buckthorn is a pretty wood and easy to work, as long as you're not chasing a ring :laugh: I want to thank greg for the stave she sure was worth the effort
