Chris and I had our own bow swap. He made me a super sweet looking and shooting Osage Self Bow and in return I made him a BBO. Thanks Pearly for the bow, hope you like your BBO as much as I like the bow you sent me.

She is a pretty one Roy. Pearlie should like it! Did you use tru oil to finish?
-
My guess is Drums will think it's OK >:D
Don't cripple yourself oldman :)
-
Nice one! What's the tip overlay material? Looks cool :)
-
I use tung oil for the finish. I like it because you have no dust or runs and no steel wool between coats. This bow has 4 coats on it, the more coats the higher the gloss, but I don't like a real high gloss on bows, just my opinion there. Tung Oil is not water proof but it is water repellant and I've never had any problems hunting in the rain with my bows. Also you can apply another coat of tung oil at anytime you like over the years. The tip overlays are Black Buffalo horn, I get it in blocks from Jantz knife making supplies.
-
Thats one fine lookin' bow there Roy. Pearly is a lucky guy to get that one. The only thing I would have done different is maybe a more pinkish dye on it.
-
Great lookin bow Roy! PD should be proud of it. What kinda poundage is it?
-
The bow is 64 nock to nock and 55 at 27.5. Clint if I could have scored on pink dye, it would have matched his purse:)
-
first thoughts when I saw this....."Wo that's cool!"
-
Whooo doggie, I believe you do know how to make a bow there old man. LOL Very nice bow Roy. I'd be more themn happy to give her a home if Pearly don't like her. >:D
-
Lol...your a hoot ole fart :laugh: ....looking good...the bow not you ;) ;D
-
Really good looking bow Roy. You did good grasshopper. ;D
-
Good looking bow,bet he loves that. :)
Pappy
-
Very nice clean lines on that bow and I bet the boo & sage combo in that design shoots fast. Nice work Roy.
Greg
-
That one turned out purdy, Roy! Nice finish. Is that mahogany stain?
-
Very nice. Love the finish you achieved on it.
-
I guess its okay......it may end up in the Trading Post if it doesn tbehave as I expect!
Im kidding. I cant wait for that tube to get her old man. I think even Dean would be jealous of this one. Your a master BBO bowyer, no question about it.
Thanks from the bottom of my can friend!
-
very clean set of lines that bow has. deep luster the finish has. ;) :D >:D

The stain is black walnut alcohol base from three rivers. It will be in the mail in an hour, Pearly.
-
Clean elegant lines on that one,just as i like them!
-
very nice.i like the color.
-
Roy, I had pink stain with me at Marty's but He did not seem to want to let you know it was there !
Nice bow !!
Guy
-
Thanks Guy. I'm sure he will strip it and pink stain it when it gets to his place. You know how Feminine he is:)
-
Maybe he could glue some of that pink camo material on it for deer season.
-
That is a beautiful bow Roy. Everything about it looks perfect.
-
Hey I have seen that bow before! oh I have one just like it. And they shoot great.
-
Thanks, Howard. I believe it's my best BBO to date. They just seem to keep getting better. They can be a pain in the ass and heart breaking at times. But in my opinion, there is no prettier or better shooting stickbow than a BBO.
Kelly, ya make a wrong turn and end up here? LOL
I'm sitting here laughing my ass off. I can just hear Pearly Boy talking to himself out loud when he reads all our replies in the morning:)
-
Gorgeous, gotto love the look of a BBO.
-
Roy I have a feeling when I finally meet Ol' Pearly face to face at the Classic this year that he is going to slap me upside the head with a pink fletched arrow. :o
-
No doubt Clint, all his arrows have pink fletch on em.. :) >:D
Pink nocks & pink stain too, you know how he is:) ;D
-
Didn you girls (Roy & Clint) see my gunships in the pic Hawkey Poo posted on the MartyJam thread? Which one you want? The ambulance or the morgue?
-
Take yer pick Pearly, we kin ride ya to either place:)
Gunships? LMAO more like popsickle sticks ifin ya ask me:)
-
I'll pick the Spaghetti noodle on the left >:D
-
Keep it up sawed off!
-
Lots of love in this thread... :laugh: ...I think you all just need to pick a time and place to meet so yins can square off...oh I know...how bout a place called twin oaks in tennersee ;) :laugh:
-
Yeah he should like that one very well. Looks good. Danny
-

That will take me about the same amount time it took to chase a ring on el' nasty last weekend at Martys.......bout 2 minutes! Then I will steal all Royberts beers before he wakes up, and all of Clints staves he brings.
-
Sawed off, you gonna let a little drummer boy talk to ya like that son?:)

Good luck to ya Pearly. I'm like a weeble wobble. You can't knock me over. When I'm in my scrappin' stance my center of gravity is about 18" off the ground ;D
-
Ya call these gunships? The stave is bigger than your arms:) LOL
-
They just look small because there extended. When I bring em' back in they practically rip my sleeves, just ask the guys that where there with me! They'll tall ya. Thats what Cody has his back to me in that pic, he knows to shy away............or maybe he is working a mulberry stave???
-
LOL Ok nuff of this foolish-ness:) Hope your bow arrives tomorrow, can't wait to see what ya think...
-
I would post pics.......but you ruined that for me. I will call the second i see that tube!!
-
Nice one ole man. And double nice to not tell everyone its only 32 lbs. :laugh:
-
DVS, pearly Boy wouldn't know what to do with 32 pounds:)
-
Roy, all of your bows have really nice lines, I love those curves. Someday I'm going to have to try gluing one up like that. Thanks for sharing :)
-
Thanks, check this one out, it's a tri lam of boo, red cedar, and osage. Just cut the facets in last night after these videos were shot. Riser is East Indian Rosewood.

That's going to be a beauty.
I checked out some of your other videos too. I like the jig that you use for your glue ups. How do you adjust the stand-offs for different profiles? I can't tell how they are attached to the main beam.
That shop of yours looks like it was pretty much built for one purpose :)
-
The stand off's just sit on the form, I have 1 inch steel angle bolted to the sides and that gives a 1/8 lip on top which the stand offs sit down inside. I can slide the mid limb posts I call them, either way. The closer to the riser the more deflex, the more towards the tips the less deflex and more reflex. I normally just place them at mid limb or an inch or two either way from mid limb. I use three big clamps, one at the center post and one at each mid limb posts, those clamps clamp to the bottom side of the form. Yes I wanted to build a bow shop so I did:) I used to do all my bow work in the basement and that put Osage dust all through the house, but my wife never complained..:)
You want to see a funny video look at Frog Dog, it's over 4 minutes long but he catches a frog in the pond. On the second page there.
-
Hmmmm?...that place/shop looks familiar. ::) ...n don't forget to make that Tri lam 55@28" for me :P
-
When the hell ya coming over Chicken Hawk? Hain't seen ya since December...
-
Pearly Boy got his bow yesterday, I think he likes it cause he slept all cuddled up with it last night :) :)
-
Nice exchange you guys did.Nice when both parties are happy.
-
Yes it is great. Here is the bow he made me. Super looking and shooting bow with an awesome tiller. Pearly knows how to tiller bows very well.
-
That Tri-lam is lookin great!!!
Good job on the video but next time you should rest between takes, from the sound of your breathin after a half lap around that bow you sound a bit winded????
Come on Drums we need some pics!!!
-
Drums did you right Roy :)
-
Kip I was breathing heavy cause I was excited, you know how it goes, well maybe ya forgot:)
-
:laugh:
-
Pearly got his new bow, I think he likes it:) Darn picture is too big to post the whole thing.
-
