Got the rust job done on my steel riser now I have to decide if I want to take the wire brush to the limbs.

I can send you a piece of wood If you need it, or try some Iron wood. :jumper:
That is going to look cool!
You did a bed frame bow before?
awesome
Oh yeah ironwood too cool! I've modified the bed frame riser. Drilling more holes to lighten it up and cut the ends to make it trimmer
That's awesome! I'm excited to see how this turns out.
I like it !
Did you leave it out in the rain?
Very nice, Ben..
Bue I used a mix of hydrogen peroxide, salt, and vinegar on it for a near instant rust finish. Then I washed it off and dried it with the torch. Then fixed the finish with krylon dead flat clear.
Very cool!! I can't wait to see it finished. It's so post apocalyptic. :thumbsup:

Looks very business like, like a hit bow. :D
Hopefully I didn't ruin it by drilling too many holes. I'll be checking it today to be sure it doesn't twist.
I used the torch on it to remove old paint which caused a joint to break so I'll need to square it up and weld the joints again.
Dang I drilled too many holes and weakened the riser. I'll have to start all over. :(

Likewise....... :thumbsup:
I have a 17" one I built for some sage limbs that I could modify the limb pads and put a set of longbow limbs on it.
