Cool bows guys. The zebra overlay on your's Dv is striking!
Grunt, anyone would be pleased with either bow. Can we see some full draw pics?

I agree I would like to see a full draw and un braced :)

Those are both great looking bows Grunt, I actually decided on a BL stave that has been eyeballing me for about 3 months now. I was a bit intimidated after all of the horror stories of getting a perfect tiller and having one snap on you. I guess their tillers weren't perfect enough  ;D

Dvs, That overlay came out great. Love the contrast lines.

Grunt, Those both look great and as Pat said I think anyone would be more then pleased with either one.  An unbraced shot might help dial it in  ;)

    here's the bow I made for my recipient, cant show all the picks or tell ya what the futhark says but the bow is done....thinking about making a bow case from heavy hair-on cow hide (hair in) the tassel on the grip is hair-on black bear. Hope they like it !!!!

The bow is hickory backed red elm (sort of looks like poor-mans yew) draws 51# @ 28", it's 57" ntn....draws very smoothly and shoots very well. The finish is 6 coats of mink-oil, liquified and rubbed in. The limbs took about 5/8" set and like all the Mollegabets, it draws like it "weighs" 10 pounds less than it really is. Mass weight is 12-1/2 ounces.

Anyways, this is what I got so far.

I've been busy on the trade bow as well. I thought I'd make a war bow this time! Shooting for 450 pounds at 38 inches >:D >:D String is 3/8 nylon. ;D ;D


 Of coarse I will have to use my feet and all of my 5'6" frame to hit full draw ::)   Just kidding of coarse. When I found this heavily deflexed stave I couldn't resist  >:D >:D >:D



So, are you shooting an arrow with that or launching your German Sheppard with it!!  :o :o
