Made me a bow rack today!
« on: August 06, 2010, 08:07:00 PM »
Been planning on doing this for quite some time now and finally decided to just do it.  Took about 30 minutes start to finish.  I had an excellent collection of spike deer sheds I've found over the years and decided to put them to use.  I thought it might look better that just cutting some tines to length.

It's got some character to it, I thought about felt lining behind where the antlers contact the cedar, but now I kinda like it the way it is.

Just thought I'd share!

Thanks to all.  Yeah I kinda like the bows too.  All it's missing is my 3 piece Orion and my one piece Leon Stewart that is on the way!  Oh yeah and after I took the pictures my son asked me if we could hang his mad dog pup longbow...of course it's just as deserving as any of dad's bows!

Sweet rack, Travis.  A little play on words.  Nice collection of bows and with your son's bow up there it will be an encouragement to him.

That is pretty sweet. Here is one I made for my man cave which is a room on the side of my garage. It's made of rough cut oak and osage with hooves from a buck I killed about 10 years ago. It will hold my bow with the quiver attached.

That's a very creative bow rack Travis!

AND you already have it *loaded* with longbows!

Enjoy!
