This was another bow made up at my good pal Martys at martyjam2013. I originally got the stave in trade from Lee Slikkers,and why he would trade such a stave I don't know 8)....I popped a belly split off of it of which I gave to ryoon and he made that crazy concoction yumi thang ;) ...two amazing bows came from that stave 8)
Its 58@26"....24 ounces...leather built up handle with a leather stitched grip....jicarillo tip overlays....and one big 1 3/8" wide hole ;D
Well....no more messing around....lets get straight to the money shot first ;D

That's awesome, Chris! Would've been cooler with Ben Franklin peeking through there instead. ;)
-
Wait, wait, wait a doggone minute...I didn't know I traded you THAT stave! Wanna trade back now good ol' buddy ol' pal????
Sweet work my friend...obviously I trade that back when I thought the only good Osage stave was match stick straight and that anything with holes, snakes, whoopdie-doo's and the like was pretty much kindling. Live and learn (the hard way)
Really like her Chris, you did an excellent job as usual.
-
That's very cool, excellent work.
-
I guess it's Ok.... ;)

Rob

It is even sweeter in person . it is one cool bow.

Did I read too much into the title, or is that for the slow periods during deer season? Cool bow all around, maybe Jimmy Page could play something on it.

When "Hole lotta' love II" is unveiled the world will no longer recognize this "bow" of yours!
I was thinking it was shorter for some reason? My tape measure eyes need a recalibration.

That will actually be a very fitting name for it if you splice em together...and that both staves came from my posession ..this bow and yours...if you have the skills to pull it off >:D
-
Skills? Hardly, but dang lucky!
-
I have hole lotta love 3:)

Nice one blackhawk! That hole is pretty scary, u def have some skills! If you coulda put that hole just above the grip, you'da had a centershot bow ;) >:D
-
Thanks Kevin...but unfortunately the stave wouldn't allow me to lay it out like that....it was either this as a full length stave or chopping it into a billet and matching it to a different piece of wood...easy choice man.
-
Naw you did it perfect, i's just ribn ya ;D
