First pic is Zircote and Buckthorn, the second is Shedua and Elm. The Buckthorn is redder than the pic shows

I don't think the color choice was too bad for a straight white guy...

Only took me three days of pulling hair out of my head, lots of staring and going back to home depot three times for color samples to decide on what colors to use and I still was not confident in my choices...

That's gonna be sharp Kenny!

Shredd, I just got done with a remodel project. I feel your pain on the decision making!

Roy from Pa · January 28, 2021, 02:06:22 PM

Nice Kenny.

Cool job Shredd.

Mad Max · January 28, 2021, 02:09:01 PM

Bocote and Osage always look good together

Shredd · January 28, 2021, 02:15:44 PM

Thanks Guys... Will probably start building bows in a week or two... Time to take a break from all this work around here... I still have about two month's (at my pace) of work that needs to be done... Then I can sit pretty for at least the next 10 to 15 yrs... Unless a hurricane comes and ruins my party...

So what do you guys think of this? Thought of going outside the box and making a whole new bow design. I picked this oldie up at a antique store a while back and thought of 'reproducing' it. New form everything. Any thoughts?[attachment=1]

EvilDogBeast · January 28, 2021, 07:37:16 PM

That's an interesting design. Can we get a picture of it strung? Either way would be a cool thing to build and shoot in my opinion.

Roy from Pa · January 28, 2021, 08:25:17 PM

Go for Tim.

Mad Max · January 28, 2021, 08:30:28 PM

What Info is on that bow?
Who made it?

TradBowyer · January 28, 2021, 08:36:05 PM
