Elk Bow is Done (Update Page 2)

[Glunt]

And not a minute too soon.  Season starts the 25th.  

56# @ 28" (Marked it 58# but found out my new scale reads a tad heavy)
62"
Honduran Rosewood riser
Cross cut zebra limbs
Actionboo cores

Unfortunately, these beautiful lams from Kenny may need to go under some skins or limbsations. I've been experimenting with how little glue I can get away with and it looks like I went too light, the zebra soaked it up and I have some little milky spots under the glass.  Everything was wet-to-wet, but when I aired up the fire hose I had very little squeeze out.

She shoots great and appears to be structurally sound.  Maybe I'll camo dip the whole thing after season or just ignore the blemishes.

Shoot it up. Blemishes give character. If your hunting elk you want to be able to use it as a walking stick, limb mover, bear beater, and more. This way you won't be afraid to really "use" your great bow.

Nice looking bow. Just needs some elk blood on it.

Nice job Don!  Should be good elk medicine!!    


The blems add character, but just pi$$ you off to see em, huh?  They do me anyway.(the ones I make)

Hope to see that beauty laying across the back of a nice bull! Great job! Tony

I agree with owlbait on this one. Beautiful bow no matter what flaws it may have, and with any hunting bow it will get some more character marks as well.

Nicely done.

Well if it were only a left handed bow I would take it off your hands so you don't have to look at all them blemishes.

Nice work.

Beautiful bow.  No reason to cover it up.  I hope it brings you to a nice elk too!
