Title: PA trade bow pics
Post by: DVSHUNTER on March 07, 2011, 07:54:00 PM

This is one I'm working on for the PA trade. It's practilly finished, but I'm shootin it for awhile before I give it up. Osage selfbow with zebrawood overlays on the tips and handle. 51@26 and 57in. ntn.I still need to finish sand and steelwool it so there is no finish on this one yet. I'll probably do that before I take it to OJAM to shoot with, then it's off to...

Very nice David!
Thank you for the caul pattern, I still have yet to build it, but I'm going to get on it after I finish up with the bow I'm working on. I can't wait to form up a bow stave like yours. I love the shape you put into them.
