Title: Trade bow rps3 ( bob) did send.
Post by: hunterbob on April 24, 2014, 07:18:18 pm

       I am a bit late posting a thread for my trade bow I received from Bob . Better late than never.
Chris (blackhawk) will be along soon to post up the pictures
I could not believe my eyes when I opened up the tube and slid a hhb  out . With trapped limbs  and just the right amount of character . I never did measure it but I would guess 67" 55@28 flat out shoots great and fast. Nicely done leather wrap handle .
Bob you sir are a master at making  selfbows this hhb  is jaw dropping nice.
I took it to a bow shoot already and scored higher than I usually do with a glass bow. Shot a 208
But all in all this was a great bow trade again for me this year . To bad its over. But I am very happy with my bow . Thank you so much rps3 .

Your welcome Bob, I sure am glad you like it. I have struggled in the past with hhb, this was my best so far. And thank you Chris for the compliment and for posting the pictures. I didn't get the title of this thread at first Bob , but once I did it made me laugh...good one. And thanks IdahoMatt and Crogacht.

Thanks guys. Its a looker and a shooter .
I can't remember what wood the tip overlays are. But you should see them in the sunlight . Maybe Bob will chime in and tell us again.

Thank you all for your comments, it is good to be part of the trade agin this year. Bob, the tip overlays are made of flooring samples labled rosewood, but I read rosewood can mean different things.

Really nice looking bow. What was it stained/dyed with?

Title: Re: Trade bow rps3 ( bob) did send.
Post by: hunterbob on April 28, 2014, 09:36:49 am

Not sure what Bob stained it with or his technique. But I would love to no how to do it like that.

Title: Re: Trade bow rps3 ( bob) did send.
Post by: rps3 on April 28, 2014, 09:44:07 am

Black leather dye and varathane brand cabernet wood stain. The hardest part is getting the leather dye to blend, need to be quick while it is still wet.
