If this is the bow I believe it is we are in for a real treat.

God bless you all, Steve

Ok I can't seem to figure this photo thing out. Maybe Kirk will see the thread and jump in here

[petalumapete]

Let me tell ya this having a bow made has been a great experience made easy by Kirk over at Big Foot bows

I started this journey last August wanting one of his bows but not quite knowing what wood combo's I wanted.
Kirk sent me lots of photos with ideas. I chose the Maple Burl.

Over all he kept me informed on the progress and did a great job explaining it.

Now for the down side. I think I must have gotten 4 hours of sleep last night.

SO EXCITED

There are very few times in life when something pictured in my mind comes out exactly right.
This bow is one of them

Looks like two copies of the same picture to me;

 

Some of the others in that gallery are fantastic but I'm not sure if they are all of this bow or not.

Well heck how did you do that?
I spent half the night fighting with that.
Yes all those pictures are this bow

[Flying Dutchman]

We need more pics! But congrats on a fantastic bow!

[petalumapete]

I know
I 'm a idiot with computers though. Just have an iPad and haven't figured out how to get the pictures from photo bucket to this forum

[sticksnstones]

It takes a little getting used too. The easiest thing for me is to do this:
1 - open the pictures in other tabs or windows
2 - click Full Reply Form
3 - type in any message I want above the picture
4 - copy the URL out of the window with the picture showing
5 - click Image button
6 - hold Control and hit the letter v
7 - click OK
8 - hit Preview Post

Repeat 3 thru 8 for additional pictures. May be a little more challenging on an iPad.

On the clock here at work or I'd try to help more. There is a how-to section for it here on TG too.

Looked at your gallery.
BEAUTIFUL!

This is the first gloss squatch I've seen.
Looks like a VERY nice finish.

[petalumapete]

With Maple Burl I couldn't see not going with the high gloss. There's just to much beautiful patterns lost with the matte finish.

I spent a lot of time wondering about the glair with hunting. I finally decided I spend 95% of my time practicing and shooting 3D if glair was a problem I could always make camouflaged sleeves    [/IMG]

lots and lots of critters have fallen to glossy bows.
