Title: white oak molly grip & tip pics
Post by: bubby on March 28, 2011, 05:18:43 pm
just finished this one up, it's a white oak molly 65" ntn with 16" working limbs 1 7/8" wide. It's about 62# @ 29"and has about 3/4" set. I stained it with dark brown rit dye thinned out with alcohol, tip's and handle are painted with acrylic craft paint and accented with a black paint pen, the other color it midnight. Shoots smooth and hits hard, this is one of my backups for the trade, thank's for looking, Bub(http://i623.photobucket.com/albums/tt320/bubncheryl/handpad005-3.jpg)

That looks like a fine bow to me.  I like those Molle's.  I really like how the black paint contrast with the wood grain.....very nice.  Bet it is a good shooter.

Bubby this is a beautiful bow, very well executed design, nice decent decoration, but an eye catcher notheless!
Would love to see the grip from close, thought it might be cork, but read it's leather. And a detail of the tips I'm sure we all would be happy about.
