Title: Built for my father...(full draw added)
Post by: wakolbinger on February 10, 2008, 01:51:00 PM
This ones been done for a while now but I'm pretty lazy about posting any of my work these days. I made her for my father as a Christmas prestent, and I will get a picture up of him drawing the bow as soon as I can. Made from the sister split of another bow I posted on here, 'October', and is also completely free of knots. Backed with western diamondback skins, yew and horn tip overlays, and a tortoise shell strike plate. 59" ntn and pulls 54# at 27" and like its sister, held on to a good amount of its reflex. The last picture is of the two bows side by side showing off their matching wiggles and knot free limbs.

Beautiful bows!!  Your father's a lucky guy.  I really like the snakiness of the limbs while still maintaining the width taper.  Classy looking and just plain awesome!  Thanks for posting this!  Matt

Beautiful bow.  Did you recurve the tip at all, or is that all done with the overlay?  Looks very nice strung, unstrung, too, of course.

Thanks guy...yer makin' me feel all good about myself...heh

Orion: It's a combination of both. I recurved the a bit with dry heat and took it a little bit further with the tip overlays.

Just got a knot in my throat. Thankfully I'm typing cause I'm speechless.

Great Great (One Great for each bow) work.
No doubt your father must be very proud.

Finally got around to getting a picture of my father drawing the bow. Though looks like he'll need to work on getting it to a full anchor...ha!
I know he's much stronger than me, probably just needs to gain confidence in the bows durability...  At least you get the idea...
