Title: 58” Hybrid
Post by: JGR1269 on August 02, 2020, 05:52:31 PM

This is the first bow I have built with tapers that I made in house. It has Black Walnut cores and a Black Walnut riser from a huge slab my father gave me. This is my hunting bow for the year so I’m doing it in camo to match my Sitka EVII gear. I didn’t get any pics of it prior to applying the primer but I’ll post pics when it’s completed.  [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

How did you do the camo?

Looks good. Should match the Sitka nicely.

A bath loofah.  Who knew?  What paint did you use?
