Starting from the left are two trade/swap selfbows, the first was made Pat B and the second one is the one I built to send out. I will be hunting this year with the bow Pat B sent me for the swap. A real impressive looker and performer!

The last two on the right are all wood laminated HBO and a tri-lam.

Then my two osage walking sticks. Great for snake wrangling or for swating spider webs out of the way.

Everything between are selfbows I have made that I managed not to sell or trade. Number nine and ten from the left have taken whitetails in the past.

On the floor are some osage & hickory rough bows to be finished and in the background is my stave drying rack that I need to replenish this winter. I may have to track down Kris in Indiana this year for some osage I can use!!

Just let me know when you want to come Joe. I been eyeing some stuff.

I have to say #1 #2 #3 #9 and #11 are my faves. Love a little character in a bow!

Like them all but those are the real beauties.

Nice bows, Joe. I especially like the snake skins. Plan to try your camo pattern on a bow this summer myself.

WOW Joe, you got a bunch of very cool looking bows. I'd be happy if I had only one like that. My favs are the two on the left and those with the camo pattern you showed in a build along.

Joe,

After looking at the pics of your bows I'm pretty sure I noticed that #2 bow is a righty, Now I know your a lefty so I'll get you my address.

I can dream can't I? LOL

Kris, he is ambidextrous! Some folks have all the luck!

Sticks
Good guess on the righty, but I think its headed to Illinois.

Joe that is a very nice collection of bows.

A nice stand of art appears to have taken over the tool shed. Very nice. That one bow is definetly a LONG bow.

Osagetree · « **Reply #17 on:** June 26, 2010, 06:21:00 PM »

Thanks guy's! The bows come and go and I think that is the most I've had on hand at one time. But, there are a few that will never ever leave!

Thanks for all the nice remarks!
