Title: more boring longbow pictures-braced added
Post by: Bodork on March 04, 2007, 10:07:00 AM
Finally got this longbow finished and into the owners hands. He let me have free reign on the design. All I had to do was use bacote and cocobolo in the riser and antler tip overlays that he supplied. I did show him the deer head inlay earlier in rough form for approval but that's all he saw.

The stripe is yellowheart with .030 cocobolo and .030 yellowheart pinstripes.

You shoulda seen the lawn BEFORE I watered it! Actually, that's where I got the idea for the yellow stripe. Here's a few pics of it strung.
