I haven't posted here in a while so I hope you guys don't mind if I post some pics of a bow that I recently built. It was made for the PA 2013 bow trade. It is 68" ntn and is made from vine maple. The tips are water buffalo horn shaped like arrow heads (John Strunk style). The handle wrap is mahogany dyed deer hide and the accents are rattlesnake skin trimmed with red serving thread. I used brown leather dye on the limbs and riser and finished it off with Tru-Oil.  The bow pulls 55# at 30". I hope you like the pictures.

Plant a fruit or nut tree today, and have good hunting tomorrow.
