Nice looking bow Bob.

If I had legs like that, I'd wear long pants..

Bow is nice though...

Great looking bow Bob! Wish it was warm enough here to wear short pants. LOL

Awesome Bob!!!

Roy you do have legs like that, just skinnier.
Nice bow Bob. I think he was talking crocs as the "flatheads". Not the fish though a nice piece of fried flathead does sound nice.

You betcha Tony,
we call 'em "flat heads" or "flat dogs",
obviously not a problem then!
good deal.
love that hill bow!- they always look so stately!
and yours are truly a work of art!

That's great Bob. As the one that got one of Bobs bows from last year swap whoever gets it will be super pleased with it. Well done Bob.

I was on my way out to my shed to work on mine and the door to my shed was froze shut. We got a bunch of freezing rain lastnight so everything has a nice smooth coating of ice. I could probably knock it open but Im not risking tearing my weather stripping out. I spent some time going through my wood stash trying to come up with a riser. Thinking walnut sides with a maple ibeam. Don't know yet though.

You could wear shorts here if you like. They'll laugh at you in the hospital though...

Bob, I'm so jealous of whoever is getting that bow - unless of course it's me.

Dave.

bigbob2 · « **Reply #992 on:** March 03, 2014, 05:27:00 PM »

Oh! We do call them flat dogs,lizards handbags etc, but I never made the connection with flathead

thanks for your kind words fujimo. Roy I'm 6'4'' so my legs just look skinny, whereas yours look like chickens and you're the same size as a chicken!!!

Nice lookin' bow Bob.

Echatham · « **Reply #994 on:** March 03, 2014, 05:40:00 PM »

i think the most stressful part of the whole build it getting the writing right.

i didn't like the way it looked so i sanded it off. try again tomorrow or late tonight when the new coat of finish is dry.

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #995 on:** March 03, 2014, 05:53:00 PM »

6'4" Bobby ? I didn't know they piled bull-crap that high...

fujimo · « **Reply #996 on:** March 03, 2014, 06:53:00 PM »

hey i like the hand bag analogy- will be using that in the future

they say laughter is the best medicine- man i aint ever gettin sick!!

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #997 on:** March 03, 2014, 07:12:00 PM »

Right on, Wayne. It's so much fun exchanging barbs with folks in here, and we all just take it in stride. Heck we all have friends from all around the globe in here, because of our love for Traditional Archery...

And Bobby is just so sexy..

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #998 on:** March 03, 2014, 07:14:00 PM »

Bow is pretty cool too...

bigbob2 · « **Reply #999 on:** March 03, 2014, 08:24:00 PM »

wish I could use photoshop or the like Roy so you're safe ----for now!
