Title: Another bow rack!
Post by: Robhood23 on January 04, 2012, 10:18:00 AM

I just finished up this bow rack as a birthday gift for my father in law. I made this one a little different due to the way he likes to hang his bows. I also inlaid a couple of broadheads, one of his and one of mine. Enjoy the pics and let me know what you think!

I like it!  Your father-in-law will be very happy with it.  I really like the way you used arrow shafts for the bow holders.  Very nice!

This is completely awesome.  I would really like to make some type of bow rack myself and this is the first I have seen like this.  I hate to revisit posts if there already has been one but where can I find other pictures and ideas for bow racks that have been made?  I would love to see additional ideas.

I can't see the rack for all those silvertips  hanging in the way!    :eek:  

Very nice!   The arrows sticking out of the tree kind of reminds me of my season!

I just found a half-round, 8" diameter cedar post. My son used the other half for a fireplace mantle.

I like this "slab-rack"!  I really like the idea of the fletched arrow backs for the hooks!

I made some modifications to the bow rack. He ordered another bow so I had to make it bigger to hold more bows!

EasyKeeper, if you are interested in that tip I sold it to a good friend of mine on here and could put you in touch with him if you would like!

Gandolf, this is actually an Oak slab!

I got the wood precut, yes I drill out the holes (not all the way through) and glue them in. I also (not sure if needed) predrill the back and put sunken screws for added support. I just don't want one of my originals silvertips falling off the wall!
