Title: Christmas Prezzi for my Gal
Post by: hightop_hunter on January 03, 2016, 06:19:00 PM
Last Year some of you might remember I made a nice little Back quiver for my Girl friend. The picture links are broke so i wont bother to link the post. This Year I may have over done it.  Here are some photos of the long bow i made for her. I set the present standard pretty high.... not sure how to top my self next year.

The handle is bocote and ash and i did a laser cut overlay out of ash on the handle. might start playing with more laser cutting. Thanks to all you guys for past building suggestions couldn't have made this present with out all the help.
the Bow is 45lb at 28"  60"long

I couldn't get the video to embed so here is the Url

Nice bow. Keep giving gifts like that and you'll ratchet yourself up to a ring and all will be lost.

You know, if that was my target, the bikes would be full of field point dents...
