Very Nice Bow Pat.....and I am sure that Herb would be Honored that you made a Bow from the Stave in His Honor and then donated it to a great cause

Thanks everyone. Anyone that knew Herb knew how special he was. If I can be half the man Herb was I'd be doing good. He would hold hardily approve of the donation of his bow to his club. Without Herb there would be no CTA. James, I miss him too. Hickory will never be the same without Herb.
  Ryan, I opted to leave the lichens and moss on the bark. Generally it gets scraped off to show the beautiful coppery bark underneath.
 Bobby, Herb would want it that way. He would approve!
   Thanks again everyone. The State shoot won't be until the end of May so I'll be bringing Herbs Bow to the classic to show off. ;D

Yea Kenneth, He was.    I've put over 100 arrows through this bow and today before the pics she was braced for about 4 hours. I'm pleased with the outcome....and she shoots very well.

ps. Hillbilly has the Medicine Bow so I will put the sinew string on it when( if?  ;D ) i get it back.
Maybe he will stick a pig with it first! 8)

Awesome job Pat!  I swear I sent you some really long bark, did you trim it short to create the "all osage" tips?  Man oh man that's nice!

Yea Joe I did shorten it a bit. ::)  You sent 40" stuff! I prefer to leave the tips bare. The edges are fairly rough with the texture of the bark so this will protect the string. Thanks again for the bark. Let me know when I can return the favor. I wanted to make this bow special and your bark did just that! ;) 8)

Good luck to Hillbilly with the pigs. The medicine Bow is my favorite of them all. Pat I bet I could take a couple of those raffle tickets off your hands   Kenneth

Great looking bow Pat and sounds like a fitting tribute to a good friend.

Pat, that's a helluva nice bow, and a great gesture- Herb would be proud. You're right, it sure won't be the same at Hickory without Herb there. I'm gonna give the pigs one more try with the medicine bow. if I don't connect, I'll assume that my medicine sucks and send it on to somebody with better medicine. :)
