Bows/Risers, Duck Calls & Knives
Why not dress up your longbow or riser with a little or a lot of checkering?
I do have a few bow patterns to send you, don't forget to request one of my information packages and ask for the BOW patterns to be included!
Mainly what I do is leave it up to you to decide how fancy you would like the checkering to be and working with the area available. Each bow/riser I have done has had a different style or area to work with. I try to create a pattern that compliments the bow makers artistic attributes. I never want to "step" on another artists work, my goal is to compliment it.
My best advice is to mark off the area that you would like to have checkered. Masking tape works well enough for this process. I will work within the area you specify, however, I may not use up all of the space you mark off. Let me know if you like ribbons, fleur d'lis or something else so that I can incorporate it into the pattern.
Pricing starts at $150 for longbows and risers. The more you spend, the fancier the pattern becomes!
I would also like to suggest shipping your long bow in PVC pipe as it is non-crushable.
If you have any other questions or concerns in this area, please do not hesitate to ask!

I also take special requests as in this situation, where the customer loved arrowheads!
