Birch bow
« on: March 19, 2021, 07:40:21 pm »
So this is a birch board bow with a walnut riser and glued on flipped tips with a camo fabric backing. 6' ttt 46#@28 and could be drawn I'm pretty sure to 30". Has nice cast and a smooth shooter. 2-1/2" wide at the fades to about 3/8" tips string groove just on top, that's all I do anymore. Minimal set.string grooves were burned smooth with a red hot nail this gives a nice smooth finish

Looks nice Bubby.  Nice combination of colors to. I like how the camouflage pattern looks.

Well done, Bub.  All around great work.  The burned grooves is a new one for me...clever.

Sweet bow Bubby. Incredibly clean work, especially on the handle and tiller. I’m taking notes :)
