took me 2 weeks to get this thing shipped out to you and it took you one day to put the skins on. Nice job dude looks good

Haha. It actually arrived Friday, but I was gone till Sunday afternoon. Skins don't take long to put on.

I took some time to test the tiller on this stick and I gotta say someone is gonna be pleased with this. I know I'm gonna be buyin a ticket.

Just caught up to this thread. Its looking good for sure. Is that bull snake skins? Looks like what we call bullsnake around here. I did one last year.. They look great and with osage it only gets prettier as the wood turns darker.

Not bull snake, this is my last set of eastern diamond back water snake skins I got from Cip. They were thin enough to conform to the contoured handle that Cody created and show some color thru them. Still thinking about adding a leather handle before shipping it off.

Germany. Scott graciously offered to pick up the tab for that! ;D

Haha...   :laugh:

uh really?!?   ???

It is my understanding that there is one more northern artisan (Greg) who would like to put some polish on this piece. After that, it should be headed to the classic table.

Just fooling. Yes, I think Greg might be doing his magic on it next.

And here we are so far! Scotty boy did his number to it and its headed off to Greg the artist for finishing touches. Somebody is going to end up with one slick stick at pappys this spring. Better bring some cash guys!

That would be money well spent on that fine stick

And with the string alignment, this could easily be a lefty or a righty.

Ok guys I got the bow from Stringman a couple weeks ago and it's looking good.
I have a couple questions before I go any further on it.
Do you guys who worked on it want me to pen your names on it rather than shipping it back and forth
for everyone to sign? Scott signed it already so he's taken care of.   
I want to get it lettered prior to putting the last half dozen coats of tru-oil on it.
I think I can do a fairly tidy job of lettering or I may try to meet up with Cody and have him do it since his penmanship is near perfect.
Also is this a correct list of all involved?

I'll wait until I hear from you all before I proceed.
She's a sweet bow :)

as far as I'm concerned you can go ahead and write my name on it greg. I was glad to scrape away at it but I can't write my name for the life of me. If everyone insist we each sign it I'll be more than glad to. Be a good excuse for you or me to get out of the house for the afternoon. I can't wait to see scott's handiwork to it
