Youth board-bow Deluxe.
Bolivian Rosewood back & riser...
Belly and tips of Purpleheart...[tips not yet complete]
I basically used the plans that Elkninja (from Trad Gang) originally posted for the youth bow and spent about $30 at Rockler on some nice wood. Main bow is a 1/8" x 1-1/2" x 48" piece of each Purlpeheart and Bolivian Rosewood glued together. 1/4" stuff used for the tips and to build the riser section.
I know nothing about building bows...these are the only ones that I've ever built. I was a little nervous but I finally got her to brace tonight...
Now, a question for the experts...how do I finish this type of wood? I want a nice clean look that I don't get with spray/brushed Poly on the Red Oak bows.
May I introduce, the Purple Rose...
