New (Christmas) bow!
« on: January 05, 2014, 12:19:00 AM »
This is a bow I made for my new sister-in-law as a Christmas present from my brother.  She's purple camo limbs and riser from Bingham's (at the request of my bro) with purple heart accent and mosaic stripes.  She's a 58" one piece and 40# @ 28" which is about 35-ish at her 25" draw.  String is purple and black flemish twist.  The inserts are for an AMS pro reel since she's getting into bow fishing pretty big.  She promises to try to take a deer next fall though!

Enough talk.  Enjoy the pics!

I forgot to mention, I made the bow sock in about 15 mins from some purple fleece I got from wally-world.  Nothing fancy, but it does the job.

Thanks for looking!

Great looking bow.  Very cool riser.   :thumbsup:
It's hard to make a wooden bow which isn't beautiful, even if it's ugly.

That an awesome looking bow. Really like how you were able to get the purple accents in the camo... I better not show my girlfriend this one or I will be building a bow for her and not myself.

I wouldn't have thought purple in actionwood would be something that looked good, but you definitely made me change my mind.   Well done!!

Very nice work. Great looking combo and I bet it shoots like a dream. Your sister-in-law is a lucky gal.

Joe, great looking bow. My 15 year old daughter decided it is time for a trad bow and I have been wondering about the purple. Looks like she will be getting some purple actionwood.
