[J BOBWAY]

Couple more.

That looks great J, good job! Did you use a flat seal? I don't see much of a shine coming off the wood! Love the red and gold accents, were they standard? Or did you add them? Love it!

 

[Cajun]

Looks awesome!!!!

 

[Grunt69]

Very nice work!

 

[Golphin]

Looks nice. One of a kind for sure.

 

[papajohnabi]

Very nice! Harkens back to the day of the Weatherbys when they were US made! I like it! John

 

[morganrider]

Very nice details JBob, I like the recurves as well...looks like we have a common passion. Bow season finds me with my Martin/Howatt Hunter and gun season finds me with my 336CS 35Rem or 444SS

 

[Dave Bulla]

Looks like people heart or ipe over canary wood.

Made sense when I saw the recurves as both are often used in bows. Do you ever build bows?

What is the bow 2nd from the right? Thought it was a 57 Kodiak special at first but realized the colors and limb shape are wrong once I opened the thumbnail. Maybe an old polar?

 

[J BOBWAY]

Bows as they hang, Left to right,,,Ben Pearson 709,1966?,Bear Grizzly 73-74? Martin x-200,The only bow I received as new,2004. Bear Kodiak Hunter,1970, Bear cub,60's! And the Shakespeare that got me hooked. 64" 35# draw, Shoot's better than I can ever hope to! Hope ya'll don't think I'm jumpin ship,,, But this Trad thing had my heart before I rediscovered the 336. Simplicity comes from within. Personal choice! Every bow as well as every hand made Marlin is a work of art. I am blessed to own a little of each!

 

[J BOBWAY]

Not Ipe, Red leaf curly maple. First try. I'm happy and Soooo much wiser for trying. Made every mistake known to mankind,Mostly! Still rethinking the next attempt. Detail's at Eleven!

 

[J BOBWAY]

Not ten year's back I shot a Martin with the riser of a recurve. And the limb's of a long bow. No hand shock and accurate as all get out. They let it go? Why i"ll never know. If you ever get to thinking about a hybrid-long-recurve,,,,,I'm in!

 

[J BOBWAY]

Mazer, Watco Danish Oil, Light oak! Simple is as Simple is done! Just may be the only part of the project I got right! Like I said ,,,I GOT A LOT TO LEARN!

[Mjmorrismd]

[Mjmorrismd]

And oh yeah, been shooting traditional archery gear for 25 years....my collection of recurves and longbows will be handed down to my son...who's been shooting since he could walk.

Now which end of that arrow goes on the string?

[swany]

[Slugnut]
