Title: first bow in about a year
Post by: Bodork on April 01, 2010, 09:21:00 PM

Been a while since I've tackled a bow. I have been too busy making knives! I made this bow for a friend that heat treats my blades for me.
Bacote and wenge riser with action boo cores and beautiful bacote veneers from none other than Kenny M. Thanks Kenny!
The last picture was taken with a flash. I took a braced picture but it was too blurry to post. I'll try to get a few more tomorrow.
Thanks for looking, Mike

Beautiful!

It sure looks like you haven't lost any ability since your last bow.

Doesn't appear that the lay off had negative affect on your abilities. Very nice bow.
