Catch a Dream Bow
« on: June 24, 2010, 04:42:00 PM »
In the events section of the TG there is information about the Catch A Dream shoot at Lake Enid Ms this weekend.

I made a special bow to be auctioned off at this event to raise money for terminally ill kids to have their dream hunt.

To catch the eye of more folk I am posting pictures of the bow here so more people will know about it and dig deeper into their wallets.

I used every kind of burl wood I had in my shop to dress up this bow.

The handle overlay is from an oak burl.

   

The tip overlays are from an iron wood burl. The extra groove is for a bow stringer I supply with the bow, a very safe and easy way to string this bow.

   

Here is the bows handle and leather rest. I hid a little locater in the handle profile. The rest is from an osage burl.

   

The bamboo has a dye job with my signature color fade.

   

Strung up and ready to shoot, and shoot it does, smooth as silk, 48#@28" 66"ntn.

I can guarantee the pictures don't do it justice, and Eric's bows shoot as good as they look!

Thought it was I was planning on coming by and meeting you but I got busy and did not make it back.  That was my first time there but I hope to be back next year.  The bow I saw there looked really good.
