Snakin' the Tannehill Bow (pics)

[Eric Krewson]

Time to finish up with the skins. After sanding I apply 3 coats of clear satin Spar Urethane to the entire bow. This really causes the color in the snake skins to stand out.  Most people who get my bows hunt with them so a flat finish is best. When I get the leather handle and lettering in place I will add one more picture.

All done! R/H 52#@28", 64" nock to nock.

 

If any of you guys are going to the ASTB Children's Hospital Benefit shoot at Tannehill Park south of Birmingham this weekend, this bow will be auctioned off to raise money for the kids, probably after the free BBQ supper on Saturday evening.

Eric,

On behalf of the ASTB and the Children's Hosptial I want to thank you for such a wonderful gift. I know that you have put a great deal of heart and soul into making that wonderful bow and I know that whoever wins will be very pleased. I look forward to seeing it up close. Again thank you very much.

Thanks for sharing Eric! That's a beautiful job. Whoever gets that bow will have a dandy.

Now that's how a "how-to" should be done.    Inspirational! You sir are a class act. Thanks for sharing.

The bow was auctioned off this past weekend at the ASTB shoot at Tannehill state park south of Birmingham. Wonderful tournament, over 300 trad shooters. It sold for $360 and the money is headed to the Alabama Children's Hospital.
