My flame thrower bow
« on: February 16, 2007, 07:38:00 AM »
Here's a bow I just finished, my wife calls it the flame thrower because it looks like it's on fire when it's in the sunlight.
It has curly maple limbs, quilted maple riser.  Walnut accents and inlay.
55", 53#  @  27" draw.
Many thanks to Rich of Droptine Traditions for his advice on finish and dyes.
Hope you like it!
Dan

I believe most state laws prohibit the taking of such pretty bows to the field.  Target only I'm afraid.

Wow, it kind of looks like a Zipper with a grip made by Dale Dye. Pretty darn good combo if you ask me! Geez, you got skills!

Well, it's got those funny bent limbs so many of you guys are using, :^) , but that is an amazingly gorgeous piece of work.   Seeing what can be done with good wood and curves is the one thing I miss about my longbows.
