It felt good...
« on: February 22, 2019, 06:54:38 pm »
I started tinkering in my shop again the last few weeks. Its been a long while. It felt good to get a dusk mask back on and crank up the tunes. The static is from osage billets with an ipe cap on the spliced section, brown deer leather grip and dyed with leather dye and alcohol, I wanted a camo look. It pulls 51-52#. The small bow is yew with purple heart tips. It pulls about 23-24#. It was nice to knock some cob webs off, and I had some help with that. Thanks for the visit guys  ;)

Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.

Very nice Pearl. I really like that grip on the static. Beautiful bows.

Like riding a bicycle ain't it Pearlie. Looks like you haven't lost any talent since you were last in your shop.
Glad to see you back, my friend.  :OK
