A couple of wino's..
« on: August 07, 2008, 10:18:55 pm »
I just finished these today. The finish hasn't even dried good yet..But thought I would get ya'lls opinion on the dye job..One is 61"ntn other one is 63"ntn both are right at 50# the dye is wine color hence the name.. Let me know what you think..

Man, You are a bow making machine! I think these are some of the best yet. Great color. What are the risers made of?

Dave,So when do you sleep? :o,  The dye lessens the contrast of the grip section, and it may look better with glossy overcoat, but its looking pretty good from what I see so far..

Thank's guys .. Rich They are glossy but you just can't see it in those pic's because it's almost dark out.. I don't sleep much around 3hrs or so every 24. I have a routine of getting every thing ready to glue up 4 or 5 bows and then as soon as one comes out of the form the next goes in while I start cleaning up the first by the time it is just about tillered I take the other out of the form and so on..
 It work's for me.. Keeps me out of trouble any way..I just cant seem to slow down on building them.. I try and trade off A few and help out with kid's and such It makes building them even more fun..Here is a pic that shows the gloss a little better..

P.S Rich I will give you a call tomorrow..

Those are some good looking vino bows, reminds me of a good red zinfindel. ;D They ought to make whoever ends up with them a fine bow.
