Snow White and Rose Red
« on: January 14, 2017, 10:28:11 am »
Hello,
these are two Ash bows I finished recently. Both have in my opinion very little set (for ash) and are shooting very nice. "Snow White" is finished withe danish oil wheras "Rose Red" was darker from the beginning, I tried to enforce this character by using a dark shellac for the finish. Snow White has 48lbs@28", weights 593g and is 1,7m long, Rose Red has 39lbs@28, weights 503g and is 1,8m long.
I hope you like it.
Greetings from Germany
Jonas

Nice work, the Holmegaard resemblance makes for a realistic primitive.
