Finally.... finished pics
« on: January 15, 2009, 10:10:10 am »
I should call this one Turtle for as long as it's taken me. ::)

It came in around 45# at 28, I haven't checked yet (and may never) but I am pleased. The skins look good and I am very content with the tips. My leather work on the other hand could use some practice.

The full draw pic was before I put the skins, finish and handle on but I made no changes to the tiller.

Lonnie, that's just an all-around helluva nice bow. Good tiller and great detail work.

Really nice snakey bow Lonnie.  What about the handle work would you prefer be different?

I can see why it took a while to finish... lots of character. Nice looking bow.

 Very nice bow Skeaterbait. Love the character and the tips as well. Glad you left the dips and dives near the tips, makes it unique!   ;)
