Post by: imskippy on May 20, 2008, 11:40:00 PM
First is one of my skinner blades with ziricote and zebrawood accents. That I made for Bill Griffen of Zonacustombows. as a thank you for all the wood he is providing me with.

Here is a new blade design for me. Made to match for a Zonacustombow owner. And the sheath I'm making for it.

Those looks great skippy! I've seen the bow with the green dymondwood and that knife will provide the perfect match. I like the shape of both of these blades and the way you did the scales on the green one. Bill's doing you a favor by putting  those mosaic stripes in his bows. lol
 Nice work, Mike

Bob, It was a pleasure meeting you aswell. I find it funny that I go hundreds of miles to shoot my bow and meet guys from just a few towns over. It turns out that I probably have met you before. Many years ago back in scouting troop 277. My dad seams to think you'll remember coming to some of our meetings with your troop? Skippy
