Dryad Blank Finished
« on: July 09, 2008, 07:24:00 PM »
Last week I finished my Dryad bow blank.  This was my first attempt at tillering a bow and I think it came out pretty good.  The specs are 64"  52#@27".  I'm still working on matching up arrows to it but so far it shoots great.  Now that I've been bitten by this bug I'm planning my next bow building project and booked the Texas trip with Ted Fry and Curtis to learn about selfbows.

Very nice!!  A shooter your first time out is always a good thing.  We get over 90% on the blanks.

I really like the rainbow stain job.

Looks like you did a very nice job on your new bow...especially for a first time. Your dye job is excellent, too! Will you post a full draw and a unbraced pic for us also?   Thanks     Pat
