A couple more longbows finished (pic heavy)
« on: September 28, 2012, 12:18:00 PM »
Here's a couple more longbows I finished a few weeks ago.  Just now getting around to posting some pics.
One is 60" NTN 49# @ 28" made of bocote and boo under glass with moroado riser.
The other is 58" NTN 53# @ 28" made of Kenny's AC/DC Desert Camo.(I love the stuff!)

Kenny, it is the material I picked out last year.  I have had the bow finished several months but didn't have the thunderbird on it.  I really like the way it turned out.  I will have to look through your wood pile again here in a few weeks.  :bigsmyl:    :bigsmyl:

Got any pics of the veneers?  I was curious how they would look.  :thumbsup:  

And I've seen so many since, I can't really remember them too well.  :p
Stay sharp, Kenny.

Kenny I do but the light at the office was not too good.  I'll take some tomorrow and post them.  They were a real dark chocolate color.  Lots of swirls.
