[Hillbilly]

That's a mighty fine lookin' bow, Paul. Great job.

[Stickhead]

That's a real work of art, there Cowboy!

[OldBow]

Very nice bow.  Great Tiller!.  Your tip stain made the tip looked like it was inlaid like a footed arrow. Got you bookmarked for June Self Bow of the Month!!

...from "The Outlaw Josey Wells". I bet you also got a piece of rock candy "just for lookin' through"!

Oh yeah, about that bow you built...chase the chickens outta the back of the truck and lets go scrall huntin'! That's a fine weapon if I ever saw one...and I seen more than one I can tell ya!

Seriously the tiller looks good and I really like the detail work you did on the bow...fine job!

Appreciate it guys! have been outa pocket last couple of days - company sent us on a guided striper fishin thang up at Texoma. Boy we slaughtered em, was fun. Took those last two bows I made to show off, now I got about half a dozen orders to fill - haven't decided yet if that's a good thing or not.

cowboy, you turned into a bow-making machine    absolutely gorgeous bow.

[NOMADIC PIRATE]

Well, Well, that's a fancy bow well done!!...great detail work.

Did it come out with a bit of negative tiller ??.....from the pictures just seems like the lower limb is a tad week

Wow Cowboy...You did a great job on the color scheme and the tips. Looks like inlaid buffalo horn. I love how you did the leather handle too. Where'd ya say ya found the instructions?

[cowboy]

Thanks again fellers . Hey GregB, I forgot all about that hard candy thing - will have to get me a peice. Tha critters do need to look out - have been sunflower and butterfly huntin most days and don't miss them by much. On that tip - I got the idea from Gordon, the way I did it just came to me as I was working on it. Thanks Marius - I don't know about a machine just havin fun .
  Hey Manny: Being new to this I don't understand the negative tiller term? Does it mean set? your right the limbs don't match, funny thing - no matter how I turn it and draw the bottom limb always looks like it's bending more to me. Think I've been doing it all backward anyway - Do you use the tree first then the stick or visey-versey?
  Jimmy: let's see if I can get this right - Sparky's site (his handle here is Roger) http://www.angelfire.com/sk/myplace/sparky.html
  Thanks all!!!

Those tips are beautiful!

Did you say that's permanent marker? I'll have to try that.

[medicinewheel]

..... Got the reddish wood with black tips look from Gordon's last bow, really liked that look!  ....

hahaha yes! - being a composer i learned: 'if you steal, steal from the best!'  ...did you notice HE stole the idea, too???
man that's the way to develop! that's is an extraordinarily good-locking bow!
