Osage comes to those who wait!!!!
« on: January 27, 2011, 07:35:00 PM »
In case some of you don't know.....last year's swap went very smoothly except for a small hiccup with the guy who was suppose to build for me. After he went off the "radar" several guys stepped up and offered to build my bow. A wonderful gesture and thanks to all that offered! I chose David (DVShunter) to build my bow and what a fine job he did. It came in today but my wife got to it first and hid it!!! So after playing hot/cold I finally got to unpackage and hold it. Thank you so much David. If you go to OJAM and I can make it, I look forward to shaking your hand.

Here are a few teaser pics. It's got a knot in the handle (which is awesome), the skins are great, the tip overlays are sweet, and the string/fur silencers are cool too. I strung her up, exercised her a little, and took her to full draw and can't wait to put an arrow through her. Thanks again David!!!!

 

 

 

The finish is top notch too!!! Thanks for looking....i'm a happy camper!

Begin a swap with the end of a swap. Looks like a long wait was well worth the outcome. Ruddy said it pretty well,"awesome."

You should consider yourself pretty lucky, I don't live 60 yards from Dave and he hasn't made me a bow yet! I know he put a lot of hard work into that bow I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy living as close as I do to someone who shares the passion for building bows as much as I do! Congrats and happy shooting

Great job Dave! What a guy who steps in and evens things up when somebody else drops the ball. That really says alot about your monumental character as both a person and a fellow Trad Ganger!
