Maple board bow
« on: May 27, 2018, 09:40:49 pm »
This is a 62" ntn maple board bow with some nice oak tips and handle. I used a golf tee for the rest , a nice leather grip, and since this is for a lady beads and turkey feathers as a decoration. About 42#@27"

That leather handle and feathers looks real good on that bow. Probably performs well too.

Ya did good.

Very nice!great finish!can't help but notice a tinge of a Molly tiller and I know that that design creeps into all of my builds wether I want to or not!
