That's one gorgeous bow, mister.

Beautifully crafted bow there, man do I like that one! The profile and tiller make it look like a sweet shooter too.
Greg
-
Wow! Real nice bow you made there fella! I bet that made somebodys Christmas!!!
-
Sweet bow, is there another 1/2 to that skin?
-
Nice one David! About as good as it gets.
-
Sweeping curves on that one! Beautiful job, Dave! I sure hope the recipient was on the nice list!! ;)
-
Very nice bow and great tiller Dave! But wheres the sapwood? ;) I notice a lot of your bows have an r/d shape to them, just wandering if u heat the deflex in or is it natural set in the inner limbs? I only ask because I was thinkin of making myself a new heating caul and was contemplating putting some deflex in the inner limbs.
-
Awesome bow! and great pics too.
-
Wow! beautiful bow and snake skin.
-
I wouldn't have wanted to take that back home with me either >:D :laugh:
-
Thanks everyone! This one was supposed to be a bit heavier, but I kept tinkering with it and missed weight. The guy that it was for wanted a simple osage r/d with no skins or special character so after this one came in light I decided to pretty it up. I let him shoot it and he changed his mind and decided he could live with the weight too. ::) lucky he is my best friend and I know I'll still get to shoot it when I want.
Oakie, I have a caul that I made a few years ago to heat em. And don't worry about the sapwood, I've got one sappy osage, and one sappy mulberry I'm working on. ;)
Rps, that was the whole skin I just cut it in half lengthwise. I still have two more just like it. >:D
Blackhawk, that's why I decided not to send it to you. ;D I knew you wouldn't want it.
-
Good looking bow Dave.
-
Those skins are georgrous! I can see why your buddy decided a lighter weight wasn't a big deal. Beautiful bow.
-
That bow may have made my top ten list.
-
Really fine man. Great work. Finish work is great, tiller is on the money.
-
That skin is wicked cool! I love those tips too! Great work
-
Man nice bow Dvs.Everything about it and those tips really look nice.
-
Oh man, I don't see how it could get any better.. :-* That bow would be appropriate for a king easily. ;D
-

-
Beautiful curves on that one! Nice work! Josh
-
Very nice. How do you feel that R/D design feels as opposed to just reflex? I really like the look of those skins. Thanks for sharing!
-
Thanks josh and Ryan.
I like the r/d profile myself. It seems to have a bit more speed and less shock for me.
-
Where in God's name did you get that snake skin???????????
-
Beautiful skins on a great bow!
