Title: BOW display/rack ideas
Post by: TIM B on January 18, 2019, 06:33:49 AM
Ya I know it ain't rocket science.  I've seen guys use doll rods stuck in another strip of wood and what not.  I've got a bunch of antler tips I can use and thought maybe someone has a neat idea I haven't seen before.
Thanks in advance

I just hung two cedar boards vertically with a few shaker pegs in them for my bow rack.  I measured the angle of the pegs from the taper ad drilled the holes for their tennon ad a slight angle so that the top of them would be level.  I don't know if that really matters all that much in the grand scheme of things but I didn't want mt bows stored on an asymetrical peg long term.

Along the years I collected a few warthogs.
My retired father made me a great rack (http://i.imgur.com/iE2qs5r.jpg)

Rick,
  Is that last bow near the floor of your rack an Ace recurve by Brandon? Looks like the same profile of mine.

This is a simple rack made from reclaimed walnut with walnut dowels, finished with danish oil.

Ugly, rough black walnut slab salvaged from a local mill. I had to work it down a bunch with the belt sander to get the grain to pop. Turned out ok for a free piece of "scrap".(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190120/bf294f220e101008b4753022b733f183.jpg)

[attachment=3,msg2844466]Kenny,
Second bow from bottom is a Scottish bow: Border black Douglas 19" riser with latest CV X limbs ( these are the more " conventional" profile limbs of the bowyer)
It is a 66" recurve and i put an uggly stab on it as I use it mostly for longer range shots[attachment=1,msg2844466][attachment=2,msg2844466]

Very nice. I've using a single row strip and have been looking to expand it. Was thinking of something like this with staggered top and bottom dowels.

Mine is simple board and dowels. For the boards, I used driftwood cut in half and the dowels are arrows I've broken.  [attachment=1]

That's a great idea Charlie.  Never though of using broken arrows. Cool and a good use for them.

Ron is that a Black Rhino recurve on the bottom of your bow rack. If so it's one those bows you hardly see much of.

The snake bow rack Has real snakeskin covering popular.
The arrow rack has a pine shaft (closet coat hanger bar) with paduke broadhead and zebrawood feathers.
Each rack holds ten bows.

Thanks Laurent! Just curious, as I'm building a test bow, a one piece recurve that the hooks look a lot like that one.  :thumbsup:
