Title: new bowyers bench
Post by: timbermoose on January 20, 2013, 02:48:00 PM
so i decided to make a bowyers bench instead of clamping and unclamping from a sawhorse. once i put some leather on the feet, i can use it inside untill the weather clears up some.

here it is waiting for custom graphics to be applied,

the professionals at work,

and the pretty much finished produact, save for the leather on the feet and head/bridge area.

Thats cool.  Make sure to seal it up good so that artwork doesn't wear away.

All that fine artwork might distract you from making bows.

I love it, Moose! A couple of my box stands looked similar to that after my boys started hunting with me.

Moose that is a wonderful bench! My old workbench looks very similar, and it is a joy to work on. Not sure about sealing for it, as I just put a piece of plexiglas over my bench. Tell the "pros" that they did an awesome job!

Moose,i asked my daughter the art major and $150,000 worth of college said to seal it first with a couple coats of hair spray (really,thats what she said) then put deft spray over it once it drys.I would try a scrap piece first.Good luck--Joe
