Finally finished - HBI
« on: March 15, 2012, 08:17:00 PM »
Well here it is, as done as it will ever be. 60" long, 45#@28". Hickory backed Ipe with tips and riser made of bocote and cocobolo. I finished it off with 4 coats of tung oil, which really improved the overall look of the bow. Oh, and i threw in some pics of the back quiver i threw together this week..filled with some homemade arrows with fletching from a turkey i killed. Overall, a very do-it-yourself project!

thanks for looking guys!

Thanks guys. Yeah the top of the quiver was the end cut of the leather and was kinda feathered out already. Just decided to leave it on.

That's nice! The whole package. The quiver has a primitive look that goes very well with the arrows. Good job! The bow is pretty and looks fast.

Hey, sorry I forgot the strung pics. I have them posted in a different thread - Rebacking into R/D. The Hickory is 3/16". Thanks for all the complements! I'm really happy with it!

Very nice set up, Kyle. Is the bow left handed?

It doesn't have a rest, so it could be shot either hand.
