My latest bow with some new lines
« on: October 11, 2008, 11:24:00 AM »
I recently finished this bow and added some new lines to the riser. Usually I sand the riser with pretty smooth transitions. On this one I sculpted some defining lines on the riser and added some wood on the bottom of it. (inspiration from v-archer and shapeshifter)
I think it came out very nice. What do you think?
 
 
 
 
 
 
 The riser is kingwood and ebony with a gray actionwood stripe that is sandwiched between .030 curley maple. Has juat a touch of bighorn sheep on the points. The limbs are gray actionwood cores with maple parallels under black glass.
 Thanks for looking! Mike

That looks sharp!  I really like the touch of bighorn sheep you put on there.

Beautiful work sir.

I've long been a fan of black glass.
The horn is a nice touch too.

I love that bow! I really like the gray actionwood lam and the horn accents at the handle.

Fantastic work!
