SO. IN. Hardwoods Bow
« on: December 25, 2008, 08:02:00 AM »
I recenly come across some well seasoned tulip poplar. It is kinda greenish color. I am thinkin veneers. Like I need another bow! Soo I thought I will use Indiana domestic woods. Osage riser with hickory (cheated a bit)bloodwood stripes with the poplar uder clear glass and black walnut cores. Some pics-
 
 
 
 
And a little trick I learned from Dano. Drilled a small hole thru the limb tip to hang the bow for spraying. Then put some braided fishing line thru the hole and top string loop for a string keeper.

Now that is a nice one!  I like the way that tulip poplar turned out.

Really nice job and concept there Crooked Stic. Now Mike don't go to Scottsburg without me, especially if you're taking that bow.  :bigsmyl:
