Made my first self bow completed!
« on: June 28, 2011, 05:18:00 PM »
Hows she look? Pretty little Osage thing!

Shes 7" long and braces at 1/2". Tiller is a bit off. But for a naked truck mirror I think that she is perfect.

Grip and rest is made with black tape. The string is 1 strand of b-50.

Be careful!  The hot temps inside a vehicle may cause it to lose performance and take a set!!!     :saywhat:    Also, those skinny strings are still a bit controversial...

Nice job on a snazzy little bow.

Reminds me of when I was a kid and made bows (out if maple branches w/ dental floss strings) for my G.I. Joe 12" action figures.

Some "barreled" toothpics for arrows with x-acto blade tip broadies and you'll have the coolest fly catcher ever!
