I just learned something that makes me think my plan for the swap is not the right one. It would be a sin to send what I had planned so I'm going to start a different design. I think maybe a cherry flatbow with a backing might be more in order. So I'll be a little later, but there's still lots of time. Rob
Don't know how I got here and don't know where i'm going, but life is grand.

Ugh, back to the drawing board.  Need to come up with a better mousetrap for tip steaming, my ghetto setup apparently did not work.  I hate the sound crack...

First that actually broke on me, my other failures have been design related.  

On to the next bow.

Just over draw weight at 28"
 

 My plan is to do(with my wife's help)a pictograph cave type drawing on the rawhide backing instead of skins or a dye job. Something like this...

Nice touch with the turkey call. Great lookin package all around..

citycop. Its kind of hard to tell with a busy background like that but it kinda looks like your right limb may be a little stiffer.

Cave drawings is definatly a cool idea Pat. Rawhide certainly is a great backround for it too.
