Title: Anyone like Red bows?
Post by: Crittergetter on June 15, 2021, 08:41:39 PM
Ive Had this red buckeye Burl laying around the shop for over a year now , decided it was time to put it to use.  62"- 44.5#@28", dyed elephant hide for the handle wrap.

That looks great.  Really like how the elephant hide and riser have a similar pattern.

I like red in bows as well. Here's a longbow I built a year ago.
Below is a sister to that longbow that I'm working on.
