Title: help us design the riser stripes in the group effort St judes bow!
Post by: Bodork on April 08, 2010, 10:16:00 PM
Chad has asked me to post some pictures of some bows I've made and get opinions from 'yall as to what you'd like to see in a riser. If you have a design you like, post it for some fresh ideas. If you see one you really like, let us know. Wood choices have not been determined yet so voice your opinion on what you like.

The second pic from the top with the red and black looks mean, I really like that one.

i agree with canders, the second from the top is really nice. also though i think the solid riser color with the diferent colored limb woods really says "traditional" reminds me alot of the old bear and ben pearsons.

I like the 3rd one down and the bottem one.  The first one is unique as well.  chad

I kind of like the "Ode to Madona's bra", though the second one does jump out at you screaming grab me and take a shot.

Anymore opinions?  I'll be gone over the weekend, then I plan to get going on this next week.
What materials are in that second bow from the top?

I am partial to the third one from the top - purple heart "S" curve with white accent and contrasting front and back pieces. Nice work!

I'd go for the 4th one from the top. Especially with that inlay work! Very nice.
