got my trade bow done at last
« on: September 16, 2013, 04:44:56 pm »
i have just spoken to barry through PM and he doesnt mind the pics going on of his soon to be trade bow. so here they are the bow is an english yew takedown. its 62.5" NTN it pulls 50# @28" it is backed with rawhide and dyed brown with dark wood dye. the tips are buffalo horn. just want to say thanks to pearl drums and blackhawk for going easy on me and thanks to barry for being patient and understanding. this trade has been a test but im glad i took part. hope the bow lasts a long time and barry takes some game with it. heres some pics. for the second time lol.

Very nice!! I gotta get going and do a T/D. Seems hard to find time to make a bow for myself.

Good job Danny! I know for a fact Barry will love that bow, might even be his favorite. Thanks for communicating and also thanks for pushing through and holding up your end of the deal.
