Title: My trade bow from Brycey boy
Post by: PEARL DRUMS on September 11, 2016, 08:28:53 am: Here is my sweet trade bow from Bryce. Its a 65" yew bow, very slender and pulls 50#. Buff horn tips and rat snake accents. I love the bow Bryce, very impressive work all around buddy. Its quiet, smooth and a bit of an over achiever for its weight. :)

Between crap weather and nobody around the house, I haven't got a full draw pic. I will today and add it to the post.

More above standard work from an artist.Great job.

Ed makes a very valid point here. A lot of bows on here have lots of "lipstick on the pig", mine especially. But there are a few choice pieces that show up where things cross over that indefinite line into "art".

This is an example of that level of work.

Post by: Badly Bent on September 11, 2016, 06:39:40 pm: Excellent bow Bryce. I like how you work character yew wood into shape, also love your handle wrap and the details on the little extras like the snake skin accents. Congrats on adding that one to your collection Chris.
