Title: Another bow from the Rooky year
Post by: dcmeckel on May 05, 2011, 08:17:00 PM

Here is another long bow I did this past year.It has Bamboo veneers,maple core,and is 40# and 60" long.The riser is Cocobolo with a really dark piece of wood a buddy brought me from India.The grip is more of a broomstick style instead of the pistol grip I prefer to put on most of my bows.What do ya'll think of the angle cut accents?I kinda like 'em.I'll bring another one in a day or two.Thanks for lookin.

Nice looking bow! I like the accents in the tips. I've done some like that in the past. I think tip overlays get overlooked because they can be a slow pain to shape but when you use them as an accent on the bow, they are fantastic!
