Hickory Flat Bow (pics added)
« on: December 09, 2013, 03:33:50 am »
    Wanted to post this hickory bow but it rained here all day :(  I will post all the pics this weekend if weather permits and I can get out in some good light.  Yes I know I won the busiest background contest but couldn't help it, was stuck in the shop finishing this one up.

Great tiller Don!

    Thanks Nathan, dwardo, Chris, Pappy and Rich for the compliments. I wanted so bad to get some good pictures up but had to stay inside. Will post this weekend coming.

Good pictures? Heck Don, you posted the picture that matters most. It bends evenly, the rest is just eye candy for us bow porn addicts! Its refreshing seeing it done backwards. Post the full draw, then try to get more pics later.

  Thanks again everyone for your comments. Got some light today maybe too much plus I'm no photographer. Here's the missing pics.

Nice bow!   I love Hickory.
