I made this bowblind out of pretty much scrap wood my father gets from a place they make horse trailers, we gathered the scraps they would cut of the floor boards, ripped em to 2X2 and so on. I also got some boards from the local skate park when they were building new ramps. Had the tin laying around. My dad is handy with power tools
Total cost was probably less than $100. 5 sheets of Luan board, oops paint, some screws. Had all the hinges and what not laying around. Its is 5X6 essentially with the front in shape of an octagon. I did not do the angled cuts just screwed them together and will trim it out later. I will put the trim on every part where the plywood meets. The windows are some luan that I put hinges on so you can open or close, the side windows will mainly stay closed. Going to get inside and spray every gap I see with expanding foam. Will post pics after I am finished. I had to improvise to keep cost down
Notice the 2 4x4 blinds behind this one, we got alot of wood
Nice stencil custon camo, gonna do more but I was freakin tired of painting. The blind is basically 5 feet in back by 4 feet sides, then about 22 inches to front octagon, easy to draw in, I am not a big fellar so it fit just right. We made a 5 x 4 base then added the octagon on the front, few minor f ups and craps but she will do the job I hope.
