First glass bow I made had brown glass. This just reinforces my decision to make another. Beautiful bow John-you are an artist.

What did you stain it with?
It wasn't anything special.  Just some min wax "Dark Walnut" stain.

Thanks for the compliments everyone.  Caleb should have it later this week.

Well the bow arrived today. It is a beauty. Very well mannered for one of those slow mule kicking style bows. Smooth as butter  all the way to anchor. Here is a picture of me at full draw. After seeing the pictures my fiance took. I think I should raise the nocking point. Need to fix my high elbow too. But regardless of the poor form. I love this bow. Wood arrows are out of the question the point comes all the way onto my hand.

Caleb - I'm glad you like it and I'm glad it arrived all safe and sound (Shipping bows always makes me nervous).  I hope it brings you years of enjoyment.

Again, thank you for thinking so highly of the bows I make that you donated so much to St. Judes!

Great looking bow! Nice that you can feel good about buying a bow and help out others in the process.

Very nice work! That's a gorgeous bow! Caleb, the next time you come to Wichita, you'll have to bring it with you so we can see how it shoots at 38 lbs. (with my short draw lol!).
Shoot Straight..
