padauk and boo
« on: January 29, 2015, 09:05:17 pm »


got this complete the other day, padauk and boo, real beautiful wood, anyway it's 66"ttt and 54#@28" and fling's an arrow with some authority, it has 2" of reflex starting about 18" from center and after a couple hundred arrows still has it all surprised the crap out of me :D, I put a coat of amer. walnut on the boo then rubbed some gunstock cherry on the nodes and faded it but it's a soft fade but I used the cherry to go with the color of the belly wood, longhorn tips and ff string thanks for looking

Sweet! Looks good Bubby! I've been meaning to make another padauk bow for a long time now, got a piece just waiting on me. Nice work.

You put the steering wheel on the wrong side, but other than that she is a sweety! Good job on the reflex placement.

Nice looking bow bubby. I have some boo slats and yew lumber sitting in my corner but I keep grabbing staves.  Seeing boo backed bows like this makes me wanna pull those slats out. Thanks for posting

Nice bow bubby, but im getting a kick out of your fence. I see evidence of an archer living there with the arrow sized holes in it. :) privacy fences make terriable back stops. Perhaps a bit of ply would help?
