Dog Wood bow.
« on: August 31, 2015, 05:21:10 am »
Got my Dog Wood bow finished. Turned 62 nock to nock with very narrow tips 1 1/2 wide at the fads pretty much tapered to the tips with some slight narrowing, didn't have much wood to work with on this one  46@26 and shoot very nice. The skins look pretty cool. It had a bad knot in the top last 1/3 of the limb so I left it a little stiff but other than that I am very pleased. It is also backed the der rawhide for a deer I killed and the dog wood is off the farm. The skins came from A good friend in south GA. Big thanks to him, they seem to be pretty rare.

A few more. :) knot in top limb, and full draw. The sinew wrap was jut for the end of the snake skins, no real reason other than that. :) Hope you enjoy looking. :)

Coral snake on dogwood......now, that's a "Pappy Special" right there.  A dandy looking bow.  I really like the handle wrap and the image with the matching string & beads.  Sweet!

Very nice. What is the Latin name for Dogwood? I wonder if it grows over here? Markus

Very nice, Pappy. The coral snake skins make it really special.
 Markus, Cornus is the Latin name for dogwood. Cornus mas is a European dogwood tree and Cornus cousa is an Asian dogwood tree. There are other shrub type dogwoods also. They make good arrows.
