Just figured it might be fun to dangle the carrot a little....
My latest Silvertip is completely finished and on its way. This is my first (probably only) 3 piece td longbow. I've got it customed just about as much as I dare...any more and a bow just gets too dressed-up to step outside. I like bows with warm woods and beautifully rugged trim...that's what this bow is all about. I usually order some kind of custom knobs for my td bows, but the longbow just seems to 'flow' a bit better without those chunky knobs. I went with brass bezels, but I have an idea. A friend of mine does custom engraving on primitive flintlock and percussion rifles. I'm going to ask him to engrave the bezels with some good design...not real dressy again...just enough to catch the eye a little.
In any event, I spoke to Dave and told him to just hold the new bow and ship it next Monday. I figure that's better than having it sit in the USMail system over the weekend. I'm in no hurry.
When it gets here, I'll shoot some decent pics for everyone. I also have to hunt down the ideal quiver for it, too.
