Dream Bow

I have a couple days in the shop to build myself a new bow.  Crotalus sold a week ago to a nice man from Finland and I have been left without a bow.

This was my chance to build something that I really wanted.   To incorporate what I have learned to re create my old bow,  but with some touches I had been thinking about.

It is nearly finished,    just cycling through coats of oil right now.   She is a beauty.

Like Crotalus,  it is heavily recurved and dyed british tan.   The tip overlays are buffalo horn and the arrow rest is the antler base of a small spike buck I shot with a bow.

Tillered out to 45 lbs at 28 inches and backed with silk and diamond back rattler skins.  I am proud to say this is my new bow.

It will be one of my entries into the Sidney fine art show in sept.

Super cool. Love your work. It's been a bit of a hobby for me as I learn about the woods I use
