Yep, that's purty far, David.

I have the first coat of tru-oil on my bow for *****. I also have three neighbors wanting this bow! It looks nice and shoots well. I'll get some pics after the tru-oil dries.

Not ready to put it on yet but here is what I am thinking.

 

What do yall think? That skin came off a 54" snake and I lost about 6" and it stretched to almost the same length.

I may still find a gar to skin yet and put on it.

That's looking great Kelly. Some lucky person is going to get a really nice bow!

Looks good, Kelly. I made a bow from one of those last year that was road kill. The pattern will probably come out a little more once the scales are off and finish is on it.

Finally got some free time to work on bow. Here's a few teaser pics from this weekend. Please bear with me, this is my first attempt at a take-down recurve and only my second glass bow. Sure hope ********** likes it. Enjoy!

[Cuban Missile]

Dang Perry that's looking awfully sweet.  Everybodies bow's are looking sweet.  I'de be very proud to find any of them leaning up against my front door when I get home.  Very nice work everyone.

[Stiks-n-Strings]

Looking good folks!

 Got to meet D at the Classic this weekend and seen his build and it looks real sweet.

[DVSHUNTER]

I worked on my plan a the last few days and it will make weight. I have been shooting it this weekend and made what i hope to be the last adjustments with sand paper and have it down to Händel with 220. 45@28 which is the bottom of the allowance, but in there. I will get it dressed up and post pics this week. And then off to the mail!

[red hill]

Nice lookin' bow, Perry. It appears "well balanced". LOL

[David Flanrey]

Kelly, that chicken snake skin will look really good.  You makin a osage bow?  I haven't seen all your post.

Perry, that take down looks great!  That is my next project also.  What are the specs?

[KellyG]

David yep if all goes to as planned it will be a skinned backed osage.

[David Flanrey]

yea, I went back and looked.  You might could even split that skin for a narrow bow and get more use out of it.  Looks pretty wide.

[Trux Turning]

Nice Perry!! That will make someone happy.

[KellyG]

David that was the head end so it is plus I still have the belly skin on it also.

[KellyG]

hmmm I don't get on for a day and this thing comes to a screeching stop. I hope it is because Yall are out work on your bows.

Someone owes us some PICs I got word that a bow was received to day.
That puts us at 22 bows received and 69 folks waiting. So we are 25% complete.

I have my bow bending Just bit more and I will have it on the short string at a low brace.
