Title: Trade bow finished, nearly.
Post by: sharpend60 on May 04, 2011, 03:43:17 pm

Here ya go guys.

This is the first bow I've posted.
Tillered in a mirror and worked with only hand tools.

Vine Maple
60" and some where around 45-50 lbs @ 27.
It's tillered to 28" however.
It has some propeller and plenty of character.
It looks black but upon closer inspection is actually green, especially in direct sun.
