My Good friend Greg "DOC" Albright (age 47) of Ohio died of cancer last week. We buried him Aug.3. I started a osage selfbow that day. Today ..a week later Its almost finished.

I put a part of his funeral card that I cut out on bow. It turned out great. This bow went so well...Doc must of been there helping... Rest in peace my friend !!!
