Mini mollegabet
« on: March 08, 2019, 11:28:14 am »
This is another elm bow that I made back in December.
55" NTN
30# at 26"
1 1/2" wide at fades tapering to 1 3/8" before the levers.
It has 1 1 /2" of string follow.
Ratan handle
I used acrylics to paint the ringneck.
This one will be for one of my grandkids.

Nice kids bow and good paintwork. I haven't tried this kind, but like to give my bow that little extra too.

Thanks guys.

Looking at it again...I think my tiller is off a bit.
Bottom limb bending too much I think.

Bending too much near the handle, look at the unstrung pic. You can see all the set right out of the fade.

That ring neck painting is very cool, lucky grandkid! 

I agree with your tiller thoughts. But, its a kids bow that will get the snot shot out of it either way.

That pheasant looks cool blends in nicely with the patina.

The mollys are a bit tough to get right.  Bow looks cool!  Ringneck is very nice!
