New Black Widow for my Dad

[Onestringer]

My Dad has shot traditional archery before traditional archery was cool (or traditional archery for that matter).  In fact him selling a bow 4 years ago allowed me to step into the traditional world.  Dad had always shot bows in the 63lb range, I talked him into selling a bow and ordering a lighter weight bow. I ended up keeping that lighter weight bow and he ordered its twin brother (it since is back in his bow rack).

Dad comes up and helps Mindy out a ton especially during the busy times.  He always tells us he is just a phone call away (or text, lord help us with his texting.  I wanted to do something really nice for him for all the help he provides.

Christmas is just a few days away and its like I am 8 years old again.  Since dad thinks Tradgang is some suburban off shoot of the Crips I think I am safe in posting a few pictures of his Christmas present.

Here are the crucial details.

Black Widow PMA
50lbs @ 28
Bocote with Osage accents
Osage Limb Cores
Osage overlays

I had Dads grand kids names engraved in the limb.

I think he will be very surprised, I think.......

My Bocote PSAX don't look like that! I love the grain pattern.....that actually looks like Ziricote or Dalmatian myrtle. How did you specify that pattern of Bocote?

I wanna order a PLX like that pattern of Bocote.....

I am kind of spoiled.  Black Widow is 10 minutes one direction and their wood supplier moved his shop 20 minutes in the other direction.  I ask the kind gentleman at Black Widow to get some really unusual stuff in and I went and picked out the laminations.

That is one nice present coming to DAD! Nice job.

You do your dad proud.  Good job, young man.

That is the nicest widow I've seen. It's better looking than mine and now I want a new one. Your dad's gonna love that bow.

[Hermon]

I am sure that will become his favorite bow.  Not just for the looks, but for who gave it to him and having his grandkids names on it.  He will love it!
