#100 and #101
« on: August 24, 2011, 02:16:56 pm »
well i just finished my 100th and 101st shooters , it took 22 months and was one of the best rides ive been on. nothing fancy about these just a crepe myrtle stave 51 inches and an osage stave 52 inches. crepe myrtle bow has some character and four knots finished 46 lbs at 27 inches. osage has a lil swirl and a handle inspired by Ryan . finished 49 at 28 inches. hope to share more in the future ive settled down some on the building but i still enjoy it .

Congrtas on the milestone! :) love the character knots on the cm and the color handle and tips on the osage. both are sweet looking full draws. I'd say "keep 'em coming" but that's a given with you. :D

Nice bows, but for a while there I thoght you meant they wer 100# and 101# and I was thinking that's a lot of poundage on a short bow...but then I am a bit daft ::).

Very very nice.....that CM has a picture perfect circle on it, not that the osage is a slouch mind ya. Like it's "ziggy" grip area.

Got to say Ken That CM gets me goin anymore....after ya shoot one I'm kinda spoiled for other woods ::)

Dell ya made me laugh out both sides a my face....knew he couldn't pull 100# and he sure as hell dont weigh no 100#  >:D

Super bows my friend

Nice job Ken. I never take advice from anybody with less than 100 under their belts. I just added you to my "ask a question" list!:)

Nice bows Ken.  Since those 2 bows are so closely matched, I'm curious which shoots further, draws nicer, etc.  Osage or crepe myrtle, which is better of those 2?  Like I said, just curious.

You mean #'s 100 and 101 this month, right?   ;) ;D

They both look great, buddy, but dang that CM looks like it would wrap right around a beach ball.  Awesome tiller on that one.

Big congrats on the mile stone.  Amazing! I really like the rimitive and simplistic, but efficient look of thee two bows..

They look like fine hunting sticks.

Congrats, ken. Keep making bows and showing us your work.  You and others on PA make me want to try different woods and all kinds of bows.
