Trade Bow Finished (?) Full Draw added.
« on: April 22, 2011, 04:34:02 pm »
Here's where I am with the Trade Bow. .

Bamboo backed yellowheart. Approximate number atm (need to do some final measuring) 48#@ 28" and 60" (57" ntn).
If it were one I was keeping for myself, then I'd be finished. Took a bit of set but shoots very well with absolutely minimal handshock; however, as the bow is going to someone else I was wondering what you guys thought about this as a finished product. I don't know anymore about the recipient than what were were all provided, so I was wondering if you think I should stop here or add a handle/riser or something. I kind of like it as is, looking all primitive and such, but would like some opinions if it's okay with y'all.

I'll leave the full draw and final pics to the recipient.

I like it too. The most beautiful part of a bow is the bow itself. Like a beautiful woman with a bunch of expensive cloths and a thousand layers of makeup. Why all the make up covering it all up? And for that matter, why all the clothes? lol  ;D

I agree with what everyone else has said...that bow looks "finished" enough to me.  No full draw tiller pics?  The nocks are nice!

Wow, I bet you could photoshop a circle to the inside of that tiller and it would show a perfect arc...SWEET work!
