Archery Fairy
« on: August 14, 2008, 11:56:04 pm »
 Look what the archery fairy brought me today.  ;D He came by my house disguised as a USPS worker. Actually, Dano sent this beautiful Mulberry, R/D bow!  She is 60" n/n, 50#@28". Dano told me she was made with sister billets with natural r/d. The tip overlays look like cocabola. The leather handle wrap is tailor fit with hand stitching down the back but also "fitting" stitching on the belly side. She has a leather arrow shelf.
   I was gonna shoot her this afternoon but instead I put up a tree stand. ;D  I will shoot her tomorrow and report back. ;)      Thanks my friend. She will grace my modest collection! 8)...but not just as a wall hanger. ;)      Pat

Pat, I cant think of anyone who deserves it more. 

Dano, is that the one that slaps your arm really bad every time you shoot?  ;D Justin

Fine bow!  How is the strike plate done?  Is the leather bevelled all around the edges?  What glue was used?  It almost looks inlaid, very nice.

Lennie, The strike plate looks like cordovan leather glued flat to the strike area. The arrow rest is a heavy leather wedge glued to the side of the bow with the handle wrap over it.

Nice.  Dang Dano, I ain't seen a bow you make in a hell of a spell.  Turned out sweet.  I bet it makes cast like a house afire.  I love mulberry, light as a feather but resilient as all get out.  Kinda reminds me of elm or hackberry, but with more "wood" in it.

Thanks ya'll, mulberry is great to work with. It does surprize ya how light it is yet is pretty snappy. Yeah the strike plate is cordovan leather skived on the edges so it lays flat, I use contact cement. David I have been a bow makin fool this year, just haven't showed much. Been playin with little bendy handle "D" bows, Man!! they are fun, I'll post the one I'm working on now soon, they flat smoke an arra, just gotta get a handle area I like yet.

Dano, Is this FF string on this bow or just thin dacron?     Pat
