A few weeks ago we went to visit our friends Doug and Katie at their cabin in Michigan. Last fall I gave Doug a hackberry bow when they were down visiting us. On this trip I took a few bows along for Katie to shoot and pick one out for herself. She liked this osage bow that I was just about finished with so I brought it back home, fine tuned the tiller to the best of my abilities, put a finish on, a little decoration,
wrapped the handle in pigskin leather and am shipping it back to it's new owner tomorrow.
Doug and Katie are two of the nicest people I know and are both adventuresome individuals to say the least. Katie grew up in Alaska and family vacations were sometimes backpacking trips in to wilderness areas to camp. She's spent time in Antarctica, Thailand, kayaked with
Doug from Washington up thru the inside passage to Alaska, and many other adventures.
She loves the bow, will probably shoot it often and that makes me happy.
