1st wood carving project in progress(NEW PHOTOS)
« on: March 17, 2013, 10:58:00 AM »
I've been dreaming of carving into my favorite hunting recurve for quite awhile. The thought of actually digging into this world class bow was one of the hardest things I've had to do for fear I would turn it into scrap if I failed. This is the first carving I've ever done in wood. I'm still not finished, more detailing on left side especially with eye and beek. Since this is my Raptor, the bow I use in trees and tight spots, I wanted to create an Eagle coming through the trees, thus I will be adding oak leaves and acorns to the upper riser area. My hope was to create an heirloom once I was finished. This bow will go to one of my kids some day, it will be the first wood carving dad ever did on one of his bows.

Looks like you are doing an outstanding job! Pretty cool adding your own personal touch to the bow.

That is really cool, Ken.  Cocobolo is a hard wood, too.  Impressive.

Super good looking.   But you're a little ahead of the rest of hacks in  the talent dept.   Can't wait to see the finished piece.

Very Nice! One of a kind there.
It's really simple. Just don't take those borderline shots. Tomorrow is another day.
