That one is not finished yet.
Here is one from a year ago

That looks like a snappy shooter. Is there a pic of that bow at full draw posted anywhere?

It's James Parker

It's simple really, you have to soak it in water for a while or it will snap into.
Put some wood glue for the first wrap and overlay the starting end and more glue at the end.

Here is the starting end.


and the tail end

Thought it was you, Max.  Otherwise wouldn't have made the smart a$$ remark.

Did Y'all see that old bow they found in the rocks when the ice melted away..??  Well they found an inscription on it... It was very worn and hard to read but they believe it said "ROY"...  Some experts in ancient history did some research and came to the conclusion that the title stood for "Old Soggy Britches"...  Old lore says the maker of that bow still exists to this day... 

Sorry Roy...  Could not pass on this one...  You know we Love Yah...   :thumbsup:
