2016 MoJam bow for a friend
« on: August 01, 2016, 08:20:00 PM »
I made this bow at MoJam this year and finished up at home.
Thanks Pat and Dave and all.
I had a blast
Osage with persimmon tips and handle filler.
This is a belly stave and some of the handle had to be built up so I glued on some Persimmon
1-3/16" wide 1/4 to 5/16" at the tips
68" NTN
48@28

It has a old crack in the fade, It never opened up any but I wrapped some serving around anyway.
Pat gave me some Hackberry bark to wrap the handle. I like the look

 

 


 

 


 


 


One happy Hunter

It looks 'deadon' to me. Nice bow and that is a decent crack in the handle!

The crack ended on both ends
the hole corner of  the handle was gone so I glued a piece of persimmon on the handle, that stoped one end of the crack, I filled the crack with SG and it never opened up.

Nice one Mark.  I really like that handle wrap, looks good with osage.

Looks really good man. I actually kinda love the looks of cracks like that...when they behave.
