Semper Fidelis ( Finished Pics Added 6/30/12 )
« on: February 23, 2012, 06:52:00 PM »
Three years ago at my first MOJAM I met some really great people.  One of them I promised a bow to for breaking an arrow of hers.  Anyway, I had one made for her already but before it could make it to her it exploded.  Well I have stayed in contact with James (No Nose) and since then she has joined the core like her dad.  I am going to give this one to her dad at Mojam this year and until then, I'm doing the tatoo thing on the limbs.  I will let it up to her as to when the stickers come off.  I'm not a big fan of the gold glitter, but the letters weren't bad and thats all I wanted anyway.
54@26 and 60@28 just for insurance
bamboo backed osage with a wenge handle accent.
zebrawood and wenge tip overlays.

You're a better man than I am...When I break someones arrow I point and laugh and if I send one down the shaft that thing comes home with me. Hmmm...I wonder if people really like me afterall.

How stinking cool is this?...Way!!!!.. I'm saying...

You did an awesome job Dave!

Thanks for sharing!

God bless, Mudd

PS: looking at bows like this one tells me I made a good choice to stop calling the things I tried to build bows. Everything that I ever built was just a stick and a string by comparison.

Thanks everyone.

Pearl, I'll put you on the list.   :)  

Nimrod- if I broke her arrow while shooting I would have laughed.   :)  . This arrow, has a little story behind it. Let's just say, never assume an arrow you find doesn't have someone looking for it and breaking an arrow behind someone's back when they come to full draw has karma issues that go with the prank.      :knothead:

This bow deserves WAY more attention than its getting. Its gorgeous. The braced profile is spotless and the work is spotless.

Pearl, you should see it in person. It wasn't done when I saw it, but I was in awe anyway.

I'm still working on the tattoo.  The bow spent yesterday in the sun and today under the uv light.  The colors have already darkened enough to see the outline of the stickers.

Thanks pearl, Roy and Scott.
Scott, I will bring it tomorrow and let you shoot it if you want to. It's okay in speed shooting a 520gr arrow 167fps. Right about normal for my caul.
