In February 2008 I participated in a charity auction to raise funds for a youngster. Well, I was the lucky bidder who won a custom carved bow rack to be made to my specs. The talented artist asked me for a picture to use for the carving and I sent him a photo of two bucks that I killed on a bow hunting trip to Texas the previous year. He decided to put both of these deer into the carving and a little more than a year later, this beautiful piece of art arrived.
The pegs are antler tips and the bow rack is truly magnificent. It is shown below with my two hunting hats and one of my Marriah Thermal recurves. I'm sure you will agree that I am a very lucky girl!

Claudia was very generous in that auction! Her gift to the premature infant was huge, especially considering she was bidding on a carving to be done by a beginning carver who only had one previously completed carving to his name. I know firsthand that he wanted to do something special in return.

She was also very patient!

Here is the pic Claudia sent him:

Here is the finished carving:
