Look What Frank Bullitt Helped me make

[bigcountry]

Well, I started this in Feb.  Finally done after some slight tiller fixes. I about gave up on her when the nodes started feeling rough (sanded too far) so I wrapped with silk and went crazy and wrapped all of em.  And then I had some separation at the fades where the power lam ends, so I wrapped with elk sinew from Frank Bullit. Probably overkill, but I wanted this bow to stay together.  Thanks Frank.  Hopefully use it hunting.  I had put about 200 arrows thru her.  Put on 6 coats of Spar.  She came in at 66" and 56#@28".  I used cowhorn and elk bone overlays and walnut handle with some sapwood.  I thought the sapwood would look cool, but not sure.  She shoots faster than any bow I have built so far.  Named her "spit and glue".

Nice job Mark, "spit and glue" whatever it takes huh.

Pretty bow. Dang is that where you live?

Tool, yep, too bad no deer come in the yard.

Dano, good to see you caught that.  No matter if I had to wrap it from tip to tip with sinew, I wanted to at least shoot her a few times.  And maybe hunt once.

I am going to take it out opening day.  Lets hope she don't mind a little sweatin.
