Sugar Maple bow....
« on: March 07, 2013, 06:12:21 pm »
I haven't posted anything on here in a while, but I thought I'd pass along these pics of a Bow I just made out of Sugar Maple.  Got this stave from Jamie Burleigh who lives in Michigan back in 2011.  Roughed it out and had it sitting around for a year and a half before I finally decided to finish it.  That maple is SWEET, very light in the hand, very springy and has almost no handshock.  Very quiet upon release, too.  I'm smitten, and I can't wait to get some more of it.
