Sinew backed hickory. Native American influenced.
« on: July 03, 2020, 07:40:13 pm »
Sinew backed hickory. Made for a young lady who competes in her schools archery team. 25lbs@26”. Rabbit fur string silencers and bamboo cordage handle. Some artwork in black and red on the back but I may paint over it and do solid red back and black belly. Whatcha think?

I think making a bow as a gift is excellent. It will last a lifetime.

Nice job on that one, and the paint job fits it. I wouldn't paint over it. JMO

Thanks Steve. I made her brother on a while back. Stick of dogwood that I also sinew backed and I needed to clear up space In the shed and ever since she’s been asking for one for herself. According to the parents they’ve been shooting them since they got home.
