My first Trade Bow
« on: August 16, 2016, 09:59:08 pm »
This is my first Trade Bow for the annual bow trade.  It's hickory, 48#@26".  Rawhide backing on the handle that was etched with a wood burner.  Handle overlays are bloodwood and zebrawood.  I used deer antler for the tip overlays.  I dyed the back with red and black leather dyes.  Rest is just a standard floppy rest.  I've been waiting for my guy to get his bow so I could post some pictures I took before I sent it out.

Doesn't get much better than that! Well done. Someone will be a happy camper when that shows up in their mailbox.

You did a fantastic job on the bow. It was pure joy watching the trials and tribulations you went through working that stave into a bow. I for one have been most impressed with your diligence and hard work. Exemplary performance Aaron!!!, and congratulations on your accomplishment.
