my 1st boo backed bow "UPDATED"
« on: April 12, 2008, 10:58:09 pm »
64" ntn  whiteoak and bamboo, pulling somewhere around 50#
i used a torch to darken up the bamboo
i still have to seal it and wrap the handle but here it is so far.
i will post pics at full draw and brace when i get it sealed.
i put reflex in it when i glued it up but most of it is gone now   :)

i know others are going to ask,so how about more pics like braced, full draw,tips etc.

personaly i would like to see a closer pic of the handle.

Nice! I like the look of flamed bamboo, it really blends in with the woods.

 ;D Nice torch job Catfish!  Tiller looks real  good too! It's a bit harder to hold reflex using white oak with bamboo so don't worry about that. But it should be a very durable bow.

 Very nice Catfish, For your first Boo backed you did great. I like the pattern that you did on the back and like someone said would like more pics.  Keenan
