boo-maple-ipé, 62#

[dutchwarbow]

This one caused me some troubles. Instability (because of the reflexed outterlimbs, and the narrow profile), and a too thick core (and boo!) almost made me give it up. But I didn't, and I managed to finish it

As this was a trouble-bow, I decided to use it for a test with Superglue finish. I put several coats on it, then sanded it with 60grit, because the result wasn't as I wanted it to be. Thought I'd wasted it, but luckily the idea came up to grab a handfull of woodcurls(?) and polish it. It's quite a mirror now  

the finsih wasn't that even, but I guess it'll give excelent results with some skill! I really recommend trying it. I found that only the polish really made it stand out, so you shouldn't forget that part!

well, the stats are

60#@28"
64" ntn
1" wide max, 3/8" wide at nocks
figured bubinga overlays



!!THE REALL COLOUR!!

thanks guys!! no deer season for me, sadly. Hunting in the netherlands is only for 18+, you need a licence and... a gun. Bowhunting is illegal here  :(
