Does anyone have any pictures of their bow racks? I need a rack for all the bows we've been collecting and my GF wants something cool to hang in the kitchen or living room.
I have been playing around with a few ideas using some black walnut from my grandfathers old saw mill and using antlers/tines as the actual bow holders. I'm thinking maybe putting a shelf on top for some books as well.
I'd love to see a few that you guys have built to get some ideas!
Take a look at these unfinished racks 3 Rivers sells. I got 2 and mounted them verticaly.
They look nice and they are priced right.

I make mine just like Ben. Simple and quick and serves the purpose.
thousands of members/serious bow dudes, and only 6-7 racks...?
well im gonna trow mine in just because of that, is made by me from "scrap" i had around the house : some dry bamboo -warped old true-flight aluminum arrows-wine corks+some glue , is ultralight and compact , did i mention it is free?

:archer: :archer:
there was one on here a while back that was a big disk of a trunk cut oblong to look oval and he made a rack i thought it looked cool
Here are a couple that I've made for myself and a few other people.

How much I want one?? :)
Here's one I like. Mine is similar but much less extensive.

Kevin you do excellent work. :thumbsup:
Mine is fairly simple, just some boards with Shaker pegs every six inches.

Here`s one I made.Really simple and quick.

Hear's the one I made.

here is a link to a rack my dad and i made. we used a red oak board and some stain that was laying around. This was a really easy project and looks very good.

All very nice!

Here's one a buddy made for me..60" wide and holds 3 longbows or 2 recurves on each peg without having them touching each other.[struung or un-strung ] It would hold 36 longbows or 24 recurves or used as I do with both.

I just tinkered around after receiving some arrows in the mail and decided to make something simple yet "show offy" and of course it just had to match my decor ;) I plan on making another one soon (now that I'm addicted to this Traditional bow stuff)

WOW! VERY Impressive and creative! :thumbsup:
Great idea with the corks and glue, Gabe.
This is a Bow Rack I've been working on since August. It holds 2 bows, 12 arrows, a quiver & a shooting glove (or whatever) Now that it's 99.9% complete so I thought I would post some pictures.

I picked up a few whitetail deer antlers from a friend of mine who had them laying around :confused:
(http://i1030.photobucket.com/albums/y366/plaigh8/br_4.jpg)
While I was in Colorado visiting my boyfriend I found a jaw with some Elk teeth - so I thought it would be neat to use one as the nob for the bottom door.

I designed a decal & used the mask to etch the glass.

So that's my project I've worked long and some what hard at these past few months. It was fun & considerably inexpensive. It's for my boyfriend (I hope he likes it)
So Kevin.....how much do you sell those for? Im extremely interested in one of these. I love the look of the horizontal one.
This time of the year, this room becomes a staging area for organizing before leaving for hunting- meaning it is usually a mess. So, I had to pick up a bit before I took the pic.
Nothing fancy, but it keeps them off the floor. The colored bands beside the skull mount are unfilled bear permits. For some reason I kept them.

My wife told me that if I made a nice bow rack I could hang the bows up in the house. She thought I did such a good job she let me hang it in the bedroom. The top slot is made to hold a strung bow. The bow collection has surpassed the capacity of the rack.

Awesome ideas, here!
I'm thinking about mounting a horn or a peg to hang the longbow from. I'm giving the wasp to my brother for his birthday so that eliminates one of the bows that won't fit on the rack. I cut 7 slots 2.5 inches deep at 20 degrees into 1x6 clear pine. Should have made room for 10.
Lots of great ideas!
Very nice projects!
I made this one to go in my man cave which is a room on the side of my garage. I have quivers on it for the pics but I hang my hunting clothes on it during the season. It is made of a rough cut oak board and rough cut osage with feet from my first buck I killed years ago.

I like the deer hoof idea heydeerman. I need to add something to the top of mine to hold the long bow.
Great Ideas folks. :thumbsup:

Nothing fancy as of yet, just a board with some pegs. Planning to build a nice one this winter, I like the wooden arrow rack. Something along the line of that would be perfect. The red cedar looked nice too, several real good looking racks on here. Defintiely sparks some ideas.
Made this awhile ago. I finally got it stained and hung on the wall. Made it out of red oak. Wish I would have made it to hold more bows.
