Title: Hieroglyphic branding iron
Post by: Al Dean on April 15, 2013, 08:10:00 PM
A friend of mine, actually a missionary, had his father make this for me to brand my bows.  What do you think?  I'll post pictures of my recurve riser I am touching up with the brand when I have the finish on it.

Great job Al. Love the contrast between the nice lines of the bow and the raw branding. I have done something else last year. A good friend made a branding iron with my logo

That's really cool. I've burned my initials in my bows for awhile now and have been wanting to get a brand. I think it will look great.
