couple light ones.

#1 Post by bigbob » Sat Aug 31, 2013 4:14 pm

Just made these recently before I decided my form needed upgrading. so I'm making a new one with some improvements I've decided on.Mostly done, but no other work on bows being done. These are two light weight bows being around 30# at 28''. Both sold.The 'reddish one' is blue gum/ silver ash in riser, and faux snake skin on the back, the other is Tasmanian Blackwood/ black wattle riser, both have 'boo cores and no decorative veneers on belly.
