sapwood back mulberry-eastern woodland style
« on: May 25, 2013, 07:53:05 pm »
Red mulberry seasoned 15 yrs. Stave was given to me by my buddy Steve and he cut it in 1998. Left one thin layer of sapwood on the back just for looks, (yew envy).  ;D  Beautiful grain on the belly of this one and I really like the look of the sapwood back.
Bow is 58.5" ntn and 45# @ 26".  Limbs are 1 3/8" at fade area, 1 1/4" midlimbs and 1/2" at tips. Handle wrap is deerskin and
painted designs at tips are earth pigments mixed with glue. Beaver fur string silencers and finish is around 10 or more coats of tru-oil, lost count  :o Hope you enjoy looking at her :)

Slick looking bow, like the color, different from the norm.

I kinda wish you had been able to hold your water a little longer to allow that stave to properly season, but if you had to do it...well, you had to do it!   >:D

She looks like a pretty snappy dance partner, pretty well dolled up too.  Good work, Badly Bentley!

Nice work!

You guys are making me itchy to make a bend through the handle bow.

It's an itch that has been going around a lot lately.  No cure but to make a couple.
