Thanks guys....this was a great time and quite the learning experience as well.  I've enjoyed seeing all these gorgeous bows being made.

Hammer your a lucky man to receive Ajooters bow. I really like that burning on the raw hide.

At the moment I am 5# under-weight.  Have also found from one of the warbow guys that holly improves in speed with heating, so a gentle toast should improve performance and put the bow right in the middle of my target weight.  Hope to dispatch Monday.

I put the finish on my bow yesterday. Once it's good and cured I'll finish this dude up! :)

I agree Stuck.

David, can't wait to see t.
I found many years ago that it is much easier and more rewarding working with those that don't know anything than those that know it all.

You are correct otter. It was delivered, opened and strung up. I didn't have time to shoot it yet. I was only home for about 15 minutes and left. I'll shoot it later tonight and try and get a few pics if I get home before dark.

It is one sweet piece of Osage! Some fine work there Otter! The fabric skins look great too. Pulls nice and smooth. I can't thank you enough sir! I love it!

Thanks bud!

Glad you like it... It was my first bow trade and I know you like bendy handle but I've never made one yet

I am a big fan of bendy bows, but that's a beauty. It'll fling plenty of arrows, and it will see some time in the woods. I've had everyone of my trade bows I received in the woods hunting. This one will be there in October! Thanks again!

First shot with arrows I made for a different bow. I think it'll draw blood if given the chance! ;D little too dark for a full draw pic.
