Title: Found a little down time........finish better now!
Post by: heartlandbowyer on March 17, 2014, 01:31:00 PM
To bust one out for myself. Got some material from a couple fellow Trad Gangers. Thanks Shawn and Roy. Got a few coats of gloss on just a couple more flat to cut the shine a bit.
B/W Ebony with horn tips.

Hi Cory!

That's a beautiful bow, great job. I the colours of the wood.   :clapper:  
Is it possible to get some data's of the bow?

Greetings, Peter

That one turned out nice. My first custom bow was a reverse handle style. It was one of Tim Mullins' (Acadian Woods) first bows when he got started. It is still one of my favorites.

The finish looks a whole lot better that way bud.  You might should send me that one to try it out.

Wow that looks nice with the flat finish. What did you use for the thumb rest?
Title: Re: Found a little down time........finish better now!
Post by: heartlandbowyer on March 18, 2014, 06:51:00 PM
Phenolic for the thumb rest.

She is 50.5 @ 28 52.5 @ my 28.75 draw 60 inch NTN

I really like the finish on this one, I used Buff Hide from the big guy.
3 coats gloss
2 coats satin followed by one coat flat used right at 2oz of finish combined.
