Beautiful riser ...The osage has great color. Bill Kissner is going to love the bow. I know he cherishes your friendship so that will make it extra special.

You and Tracey will have a ball at Bill and Jeanie’s it is one of my favorite hunting destinations. Lost of fun and good hunting.

Good hunting and a safe trip   ;)

Beautiful bow coming together, and I/we are looking forward to the completed bow pictures.

The bow at the PBS banquet was gorgeous,  Hard to believe you are topping that.

Good luck and have fun in CO.

Classy...and the best thing about it is it will end up being the perfect color match to elk antler.  That one will be neat to watch age.

Skins are on along with lots of heavy coats of finish. The finish should be dry enough tomorrow for me to sand the whole bow. It will then get sprayed a few more times with the shiny finish then she will be ready for the flat and texture.

WOW, What a looker! I am not normally a snake skin guy, but I really like the look of that albino skin on the Osage.

Just imagine what that bow will look like in 5-6 years.  It's beautiful now but when that osage mellows over time it's going to be even more amazing.

This is the only albino diamond back I have ever seen.

Bill, your bow should get its final coats of finish today.    :jumper:
