Title: St Jude Auction Bows (finished pics)
Post by: Dan Bonner on July 31, 2013, 10:38:00 PM
Finally finished these for Horneshooter and Whitehat. They turned out well. here are the specs.

Horneshooter: 62" RC 58#@30" spotted African ebony handle, dark Myrtle limb veneers. Water bufalo horn tips and overlays,antler limb knobs,beavertail rest, padded loop 8125- 3 bundle 9 strand string with wool silencers, 1 dozen Doug Fir custom arrows -4 with very sharp Grizzly El Grande BHs, 1 Stump point, 7 with field points. , 1 Selway quiver and I hope a ton of good mojo.    

Whitehat:  60" RC 46#@28" spotted African ebony handle, dark Myrtle limb veneers. Water bufalo horn tips and overlays,antler limb knobs,beavertail rest, padded loop 8125- 3 bundle 9 strand string with wool silencers, 1 dozen Doug Fir custom arrows- 4 with very sharp Grizzly El Grande BHs, 1 Stump point, 7 with field points. , 1 Selway quiver and I hope a ton of good mojo.

I intend to offer up another custom bow next year for the auction and hopefully there will be some interest. This has been a very fulfilling project and I cant wait to do it again!  There is a build-along on these bows over on the Bowyers Bench if you want to see them being built.Thanks for looking.

Thanks everyone, I can't wait to see some pics of these next to dead critters with a little blood on the arrows! I like for bows to look good because it doesn't take much extra effort to make them that way, but first and foremost I build them for hunting.
