@ErictheViking...same ol' Lee on this end
just wanted to push hard and make sure I held up my end of the deal on the whole "Trade Bow" thing.
@Gun Doc...thank you very much, I really appreciate the kind words.
You folks have been way more generous with the accolades than anyone deserves. It's all about the bows, the sport and the folks who enjoy it!
Thanks!!!

Thanks Hammertime!
Semo, thanks a ton bud...this has been a cool, quick ride and I look forward to it's Journey. Got a couple more in the hopper, a Syringa sapling bow, another Osage and a western paddle bow out of Sassafrass back with rawhide (maybe sinew also) This stuff is WAY too addictive and there are so many directions and options to pursue

I still want a money shot from the new owner of this bow
Lee You put allot of work into this bow and it turned out great IMHO, Im a little disapointed that some of the people receiving these great bows arent doing more to thank the people who worked so hard and put so much time and effort into something. Well done Lee!

Great job Lee. Really nice work. Bet it shoots like a dream. I love those horn overlays too. I have'nt done any. Maybe someone can do a tutorial on how to do those and maybe antler as well. Danny

Thanks Danny. I think if you dig through all the how-to's and other bow building threads you can find a thread that shows how do the horn/antler overlays. I have a Hickory bow I am working on at the moment...it will likely have cherry bark backing and I may use the left over pieces of horn from this Trade bow on this Hickory bow. If I do I'll try to remember to do a photo journal of my steps but remember...I am a newbie on this bow stuff so you may not want to follow my methods
