« on: June 18, 2009, 05:14:00 PM »
I am wanting to build a wall mounted bow rack.   Can I get some pics of different bow racks you fellows have.   Thanks,

This is one a friend made for me.  I posted it here a few days ago, but you may have missed it.  It is made of cherry and has inlaid ebony at the top.  I had him make the spaces in between the bows large enough so that I could leave more than one bow strung if I wanted to.  

 

Here is a detail of the ebony inlay:

Hey froggy i thought the spaces needed to be closer than that so your limbs dont warp.

Just on the possibility of limbs warping on the rack: Mine is similar to Froggy's, and I thought about it, but reasoned that if bowyers say that you can leave a recurve strung all the time, then sitting on the pegs wouldn't hurt them. And Froggy, that's a nice bunch of Silvertips!

Here's mine:

 

Please excuse the bottom bow. After putting it up, I realised that it was better collecting dust under the bed!
