Title: Keith Zimmerman knows how to dress a bow up
Post by: Danny Rowan on July 04, 2014, 06:25:00 PM
My good friend Keith has some beautiful silver inlay work on his bows and I wanted to show it off for him.

Thanks brother Danny!  Its a long wait for my buddy to do it.  But its worth it.  It took him 3 days to do the claws and toes.  He kept cutting them out and they would fall on his shop floor and get lost.  They are that small.  He said he hopes he doesn't have to do any more of them:)

Danny,

Where do you get the seal skin for the shelves on your bows?  I didn't have to look at the bows to know that they would be serious eye candy.  You don't buy any ugly bows!  :)

Keith, I liked it too.  I had never shot one before either.  I put a couple arrows through it, very smooth. I shoot with Jake a lot which means I get to try a lot of bows    :goldtooth:   .

Post by: Keith Zimmerman on July 08, 2014, 11:28:00 AM
I have never actually seen him do it.  But he explained it to me.   Basically its cut out of a sheet of pure silver.  Then its inlayed and pinned into the riser.  Then its filed flat and smooth.  You cant feel it.
