I got talked into making afancy bow
« on: January 25, 2012, 06:39:00 PM »
A customer of mine talked me into making a bow for his son with a bunch of overlays, and multiple stripes in the riser and such, and here's how it turned out.  (My bows are normally a bit more plain)

Yeah, I think the guy mentioned his boy was 13.  I'd have messed my trousers if I got a bow like that at 13.  Anyhow, it was fun making it.  In the pictue, it's only got one coat of finish so it's not quite done.
