hey bro why dont you just drill holes in a bit of 4x2 and put some deer antlers on it works good. sorry but i aint got any pics of one. but i drilled holes in the wall and put some arrows in for pegs and i just lay the bow across the two pegs. :thumbsup:

This is one a friend made for me. I posted it here a few days ago, but you may have missed it. It is made of cherry and has inlaid ebony at the top. I had him make the spaces in between the bows large enough so that I could leave more than one bow strung if I wanted to.

Here is a detail of the ebony inlay:

Hey froggy i thought the spaces needed to be closer than that so your limbs dont warp.

Just on the possibility of limbs warping on the rack: Mine is similar to Froggy's, and I thought about it, but reasoned that if bowyers say that you can leave a recurve strung all the time, then sitting on the pegs wouldn't hurt them. And Froggy, that's a nice bunch of Silvertips!

Here's mine:

Please excuse the bottom bow. After putting it up, I realised that it was better collecting dust under the bed!
