Title: Thanks to John from OLD MASTERCRAFTERS.
Post by: HMlongbow on September 15, 2012, 06:43:00 PM
I wanted to share some pics of a bow I finished up.  I have been utilizing John for the past 7-8 years for veneers, tapers and quite a bit of wood for handles and inlaying.  I recently bought some stuff and by my surprise he through in some veneers that he wanted me to try.  Well by the pics they turned out awesome.  They are spalted maple and really have great lines and figures.  The handle is East Indian rosewood with main beam of bocote.  The cores are bamboo of course.  I hope you like the pics.  This bow is for sale at $750.  The specs: AMO 62" 42#@28"
A great shooting bow with no hand shock and smooth off the fingers.
Thanks for looking and good shooting,

Bwahhhaaha! It shall be mine.

In my best evil villain voice.
Saw it, called Hitman, mailed the money order.
So close to my ideal wood combo there was no need to custom order.
