New D/R Bow
« on: April 08, 2016, 09:23:30 pm »
Hey guys,

                       Been a while since I finished a bow, but here is my latest. Its for a friend of mine and is from a piece of small diameter osage from Clint. I had just barely enough for a bow! I heated the deflex into the handle and then heat tempered and reflexed the limbs. It kept 1.5" of it and it a pretty quick and quiet bow! 47# at 28", 63" ntn and a smoooooth pull back to full draw! dyed back is green Rit dye with brown highlights mixed with acetone. the leather handle wrap was a pain to get on due to the shape, but it came out fine. Handle lams are wenge, purpleheart and lignum viante. 2 coats of shellac, 7 of tung oil, 2 of satin spray urathane and 2 coats of wax over the works. Thanks for gawking! sorry about the graininess of some of the pics.

Really sharp bow should grip that handle the same every time.
