Title: Hackberry painted lady
Post by: bubby on March 27, 2017, 06:25:06 pm

I built this bow from a hackberry stave i got from Stixnstones,  it was a nice stave with very few problems as in, it was pretty dang straight😉 I built this for a friend of ours that does a lot of black powder rendezvous,  last year she wanted some help shooting and the osage bow she had was a pos, poor tiller no string alignment,  an art sinew string that is prolly still stretching. Anyway i will surprise her with this one , 65" ttt and 42#@28" but she will only pull maybe 25-26". I thought the paint job fit in nicely with the rendezvous scene, kind of a west coast look, really smooth to shoot and hits with a good thump for a lower weight bow,hope ya like her, bub(http://i623.photobucket.com/albums/tt320/bubncheryl/Mobile%20Uploads/20170327_150414_zpstp4grvf9.jpg) (http://s623.photobucket.com/user/bubncheryl/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20170327_150414_zpstp4grvf9.jpg.html)

Looks mighty fine all around, the paint job in particular. The little bit I have worked with hackberry has left me wanting more.
