So I went to see my friend Tony today. I wanted to make a DIY bear claw necklace and wasn't sure what type of epoxy to use for bone, I had called to ask him last week because he builds custom trad bows and often does bone inlays...figured he would know what works best. He told me to swing by on the weekend and he would mix me up some of his special blend. We got that out of the way this morning and he got to showing me some bows he has on the go. One was almost finished and I was able to put some arrows through it...Tony may not be the best marketer but all he has to do is put one of his bows in your hands and the salesmanship is done. I've always been a wheel guy but I'm proud to say I put my name on my first stick bow today, can't wait for it to be finished and get some more confidence under my belt with it! Still lots of practice needed but in about half an hour I could at least put down a loose group at 15 yards, depending on how much practice I can get in before May this might just come out to the bear woods with me this year
Don't mind my kids pokemon cards, I'll be sure to get you some better bow porn when it's done
Edit:
Oh! Some specs! 68" 43#, black locust limbs, eastern maple core, yew wood handle and layers of bamboo, zebra wood, more eastern maple and tiger wood for the riser with a moose antler inlay.
