A New Bow

Travis finished up a bow for his cousin a couple of weeks ago and now that she has the bow I can finally post about it!
This is a laminated hard maple, stained black with leather dye. It pulls at about 30-35lbs.

at full draw (see photo below to see it at full draw on someone with the right arm length)

The lucky recipient was Trav's cousin in Manitoba and she looks pretty good shooting it if you ask me.

For the odd ones of you that actually only read the random archery post I do, my apologies for this, but Katrina, where did you get your boots???

Travis did make her some bamboo arrows as well which somehow never made it into the tube when He mailed the bow but we'll get them to you one day Katrina.  He also made her a leather arm guard with carved Herons on it.  You can sort of see it in the pictures.

Trav has a few more bows in the works so as those get finished I'll keep posting them. If this weather ever actually turns into Spring we'll be heading out The Range to actually shoot these things.
