Just finished this one up. After making a rookie mistake by getting in a hurry trying to get it done for Christmas it came out light >:(
Osage 40#@26", 60" NTN, buffalo horn overlays, stained it medium brown and used the crinkled bag technique to add some contrast to it.
Need to find a good home for this one, any idears guys?

Dana thats not a mistake, thats a nice bow! The tips, stain and profile look great. I think anyone would be happy to have that even if it is light for a guy it would be perfect for a woman or youth. If no one eles chimes in here I do know someone who would be very honored to have it.

There's always a kid who needs a good bow!...who knows it may be the one thing keeps him out of trouble and in the woods for the rest of his life! of you can give it to me >:D >:D

Dana is that a secured hallway? ::) >:D
-
That is a sweet bow.. sent you a DM.. love the dark finish on it.. Hawk
-
Very nice bow, Dana. Tiller is spot on and I love the dye job!
-
Dana,that is a very sweet looking stick ya got there,tiler looks spot on
and its the preferred weight for me when just target shooting,nothing wrong with a 40# bow
-
Great looking bow Dana. There are plenty of groups like the WTF and RMEF that you could donate it to. The bow would go to a good home and funds raised would help fight the good fight and protect our hunting privileges. ;) Or give it to someone who has private land that allows public access as a good will gesture.
-
Very, very nice. Great tips and color not to mention excellent tiller! Bookmarked, too ;)
-
Keenan its enter at your own risk ;) >:D
Hawkbow if you mean you sent me a PM, I apologoze but I won't recieve it as I'm not allowed a PM account :-[ ???
Pat coming from you thats a compliment indeed :)
Tim I don't mind a 40# bow, but I have 3 bows now and can only shoot one at a time so might as well find a good home for it eh :)
Justin thats a good idea but I'm not a member of any such group and don't agree with all their policies especially our local Whitetails group :o
Thank you Don, I guess I'll join the fun this month eh ;) :)
-
FYI please e-mail me at mstqsewer@yahoo.com if you have a good home for this bow please tell me some particulars :)
Don't send PM's as I won't get them.

-
You can send it to me :-D. I have to start shooting light (torn rotator-cuff).
-
Yep....thats my draw weight and length.......send it right here......that is awesome.........someone will get very very lucky
-
Dana, I do a wild game dinner in albion, pa. every year. I always give away 2 hand made bows to kids. As they have a drawing, just for that! I would be honored to present it to a youth and take pics and get info and even post if you like . They call it the FEDERATIONS of Churches--- two combined. & 750 men show up each year. What do you think of that? Just e-mail me or call at ...Thanks Denny
-
No Mistakes that I can see...that Bow is a BOM Winner in my Book...I don't dislike a Thing about it....Great Bow Dana!!
-
or you could give it to me ;D
-
Thanks guys , I appreciate the positive comments Guys :) Like I said e-mail me with your story but understand that I want it to go to someone that will use it,
I've given away about 20 bows that are just hanging on walls >:(
Mike as for BOM I don't think so eh :D But thanks for the vote of confidence :)
-
thats a great looking bow. Very generous to offer it to someone who would use it also.
Good job!

Dana, what you're doing is a great gesture. That would make a great bow for someone who doesn't have a bow at all or wants to get started in primitive archery but can't afford a bow at the time. There was someone on here a few days ago looking for a first bow and on a budget, but I think someone's making him one. Awesome act of generosity! I stand up and applaud!!!!
-
thanks riley :)
Tsalagi, I just don't have a use for it I have several bows already, one that I made and a few from guys on here that were gifts so I have no need of another bow
I see no point in having a closet full of bows that I won't use, might as well give them away, I enjoy making them and would rather see them used than sit in a closet :)
-
Looks great! Nice bow. Jawge
-
Great lookin' bow Dana, and great gesture!
-
Mmm...nice bow. I love the color. That would a good first shooter for me.
-
i made one and had pat b and mullet and others do a little research and found me a name on here , it was recurve shooter. and sent it to him. i thank all of yall who helped me find a good guy to send it to. a heart that gives gathers.
-
Hey Dana, I sent you a PM. I dont have your email address. Bobby
-
Someone is going to be very forturnate ;D Looks great Dana!

-
Wow that's a great looking bow.I wil like to e-mail you and ask you to send me the bow but I'll just have it hanging in the wall because it will be my first good looking bow and I wouldn't want to break it or ruin it since I still got a lot to learn before handling this kind of bow.
DanaM great gesture.I'm sure someone will have a good use for this bow.
-
i dont think anybody builds bows on here just to hang on the wall, so who ever gets the honor to own it use it and feed the hunger.
-
HOT DANG! Dana. That's sharp! Gonna tickle somebody ;)
-
Hey Dana, I sent you a PM. I don't have your email address. Bobby

FYI please e-mail me at mstqsewer@yahoo.com if you have a good home for this bow please tell me some particulars :)

Nice bow there, Dana! Should make some lucky person very happy! :) -josh

I, like everyone else on PS, would love to have it. However, another option would be to raffle it off at the TN classic. Just a thought.
-
That's a beautiful bow Dana,it looks great.I'll bet there are a lot of kids would love it.Nice gesture also. God Bless
-
Thanks fella's :)
Steven I usually donate a knife to Pappy to be reffled off at the CLassic :)
-
Imagine the kind of revenue that could be made with a bow which was donated to the TN raffle!
-
DanaM, man that is a beauty. Hunt with that on all day long, 40lbs will get it done.

The last 2 years people have donated bows for Twin Oaks to raffle and like I said I have donated knives the last 2 years :)
Thank You Lombard :)
This bow now has a home it will be heading west of me :) And I think I'm jealous that it gets to go and I have to stay home :( :)
-
Santa Dana strikes again ;D Very cool looking bow. tiller is awesome as well. I'm sure it will enjoy many adventures in the wild west.

Happy new Year!
-
Dana,
That is a beautiful bow and one nice gesture. I too am glad you found a good home for it. I just love the finish you gave it. Could you give us more on how you did it?
Thanks,
Chasing Crow
-
Thanks Frank...eh :D
crow the finish is easy, I used fieblings leather dye, first I dyed the whole bow a solid British Tan then came back
with black and used a crinkled up piece of wally world bag to sorta blotch it on, go easy on this part as a little goes a long way,
practice on a piece of scrap, you can get as fancy as ya want and use multiple colors. Final finish is Tru Oil
Go to the Post Office today to mail the bow to its new owner :)
-
Dana,
Thanks for the info. I will definitely give it a try on a future project. If it turns out a fraction as good as this one I'll be happy.
Chasing Crow
-
Like I said crow practice on a piece of scrap, believe me its worth it ;)
Bow is on its way to the new owner hope it gets there in one piece.
-
Thought I would let ya all know that this bow is now in the very capable and lovely hands of Stacey Huston :)
Their going hunting today so hope to see some action shots Mike ;) :)
-
Dana: What a wonderful gesture! O:) O:) O:) Stacey will honor the gift and will hunt with pride and honor! Joe
-
