Title: A Bow for Art
Post by: Pappy on January 04, 2010, 07:03:06 am
GregB and myself decided a few months ago to build a bow for a good old friend of ours.Art,
he his an older guy[76] that hangs around the club all the time. He is from up North so we ofter refer to him as out token Yankee. :) Gret guy and an inspertion to us guy.Hope you and he likes it.
It is Osage 40 @ 26 66 tip to tip. He helped as I was getting it tillered,he thinks it for a friend we have in AK. So he has shot it but didn't know it was for him.We plan on giving it to him at the next meeting on the 16th. :) It was a joint effort ,I build the bow and Greg done his thing on the finish work. :)

Nice bow there Pappy and Greg!  I remember awhile back reading you were making Art a bow and you were letting him shoot it all the while thinking it was for someone else.  I am glad to see it finished up!!  Remember to take pics of him on the big day he is in for a big ole awesome surprise with this one.  Tiller and finish work look outstanding of course!   :)  -josh

Heckofa bow Pappy!  I wouldn't be surprised if ol' Art don't shed a tear when he recieves that one.  I probably would.

No Josh,he thought we were building it for a good friend of ours in AK. We told him he shot about the same weight and draw and he did,so we let him test it as we went along. After we was  finished tillering it he never saw it again till Sat. Glad yall liked it. :) It was fun and as you can tell he
was surprised. Love it when a plan comes together. ;) :)

I'm sorry I missed being there, I was in Nashville doing some family stuff. Looks like Art really liked it, and the bow looked great on the full draw picture! Good stuff! :)
