vine maple gull
« on: October 27, 2012, 06:29:02 pm »
Had this vine maple stave from TreeKiller (Keith) with a natural gull wing profile - couple of knots with bends and a deflex swoop between them. It just called to be this shape. Looks a little weird but shoots fine. VM is very light and easy to work with good spring to it. It is soft like yew so I put pear tip overlays. Deerskin handle wrap, light application of "fruit wood" stain to tone down the bright white of VM and TruOil finish. 65 1/2" NTN 51# @ 28"
