TG BOW SWAP 2012 (pics and post)

I just learned something that makes me think my plan for the swap is not the right one. It would be a sin to send what I had planned so I'm going to start a different design. I think maybe a cherry flatbow with a backing might be more in order. So I'll be a little later, but there's still lots of time. Rob

Ugh, back to the drawing board. Need to come up with a better mousetrap for tip steaming, my ghetto setup apparently did not work. I hate the sound crack...

First that actually broke on me, my other failures have been design related.

On to the next bow.

Nice bows guy's!!!

Pat B · January 26, 2012, 04:46:00 PM

Just over draw weight at 28"

My plan is to do(with my wife's help)a pictograph cave type drawing on the rawhide backing instead of skins or a dye job. Something like this...

Nice touch with the turkey call. Great lookin package all around..

citycop. Its kind of hard to tell with a busy background like that but it kinda looks like your right limb may be a little stiffer.

Great Pat.Those drawings are neat.

Nim-rod · January 26, 2012, 05:32:00 PM

Cave drawings is definatly a cool idea Pat. Rawhide certainly is a great backround for it too.

rmorris · January 26, 2012, 05:33:00 PM

I like it the cave drawings are a great touch.
