I missed elm hall also Drew. My dog had puppies that week and since it was her first litter we stayed home. Guess I have to go early to Marshall too.

Great looking bow.  That dye job will be great in the woods, just done set the bow down cause you may never find it again. lol 
This gives me intensive to work on a nice black locust stave that I have.

Well done!

Camo finish is so good that I spent several seconds staring at 1st pic before finally seein' the bow.
Hope shoulder is fully healed.
Congrats!

thanks Ed! The dye really brought out all the shade variations and patterns in the rawhide.

Thanks Knoll, it's healing up, just slow - guess that's supposed to happen, once you're over 40!  :o

I'm suddenly sittin' here with 3 narrow/thin staves that will have to be bend through the handle bows.
You've done such a great job with this black backed bendy black locust beauty. Come down here and show me how it's done!!
