Title: Static Osage trade bow 2016
Post by: Aaron H on July 13, 2016, 08:30:08 am
Here is my offering to the bow trade.

64" NtN
46# @26"
1/4" positive tiller
8 stand fast flight string
Buffalo horn nock overlays and string bridges
Light brown leather dye that turned red against the osage
8 coats Tru-oil over 2 coats satin polyurethane.  Lightly scuffed to a satin sheen.
Elk leather grip over cork
This was also my first time ever writing on a bow.

That stain made an awesome color on the osage. I bet it's a fast smooth shooter.

I also like the way you wrote on bow I agree with Ed I've been writing on most of mine so far but like to find something better to use. What did you use?

Thanks a bunch guys, I really did put a lot into this one. Although I was hoping for a few things to go differently than they did,  I am still pleased with it.

Thanks Kyle,  I was going for a light brown fade, but I couldn't disagree with the red once it hit the osage.

Thank you Ed and bjrogg, I used white India ink with a dip pen somewhere in the middle of those 8 coats of Tru-oil.

Sorry about that draw length pearly, maybe you will get used to it.

Thank you for all of the comments guys, I really do appreciate it.

The mail girl just delivered Aaron's bow to me.  All I can say is WOW!  I opened it up and just stood there for probably 10 minutes looking at every inch of it.  I can tell Aaron put a lot of work into it.  The dye job and finish work are amazing.  I really appreciate the amount of time and effort that you put into this bow for me.  It will proudly hang on my bow rack and travel with me to all the shoots that I go to.  It's super humid today.  I'm going to leave the bow in the AC overnight.  I'll string it up and shoot it tomorrow.

Killer bow Aaron, so many nice elements within that one. Its so sharp looking that I believe it will make Clint even more handsome when he carries it with him at the shoots. ;D   That tiller is a thing of beauty as well. Congrats Clint.

That's got some style to it.
