not sure if any of you folks on here know it or not
but about a year and half a go i started to get to know my dad.
i hadnt seen or talked to him since i was about 5 years old.
turns out even after all these i am truly my fathers son.
we have so many of the same interests that its almost spooky.
one of the things we have in common is our love of hunting.
more so our love of bow hunting.
so i decided that for christmas this year i would make him a self bow.
its made from hickory, 66" tip to tip.1.5" wide at the fades and up until the last 8" of the limbs,at that point the limbs taper to .5" at the nocks.
it pulls 48# @ 29". has a buffalo horn arrow rest,brain tanned deer hide strike plate.buffalo hair accents at the bottom of the handle and the handle is wrapped with jute twine.8 coats of tung oil as a finish on the bow.
i added the buffalo arrow shelf and handle accents because he used to raise them,and thought that he might like that.
this is really a sweet shooting bow and i sure hope he likes it because i almost hate giving this one up (one of the best i have made to date in my opinion)
here are a few pics of it.
thanks for looking and let me know what ya'll think of it
