hey guys

As Shannon said I have the bow and will start finishing it this weekend. I am honored to be able to help on this bow. The pictures really don't do it justice. It is a great looking bow. I will keep you posted on the progress.

Finally had a chance to work on it tonight. I have put a few coats of tru oil and will do it again tomorrow. I thought maybe you all was wondering about me. I will go over to Shannons ( he has the string for it now ) and post some pictures when I am done finishing it. Thanks again.

I am ready to start the third series of Tru oil, steel wool.tru oil etc......  I didn't get a chance to work on it yesterday. ( Bought a new ( to me ) bandsaw. ( upgrading ) Had to drive 200 miles one way to get it. But saved 300 dollars doing it so I guess it is worth it. I will work on it today and tomorrow. I will get ahold of Shannon and see when we can post some pictures. Or I can give it a shot later. No I haven't shot it. ( even though I have been tempted to string it up) I have resisted so I could spend my time finishing it. Thanks and I will keep you posted. Sorry for the late emails. Its garden time and have been tilling and getting a garden ready also. So between work and all the honey doo's I only get a few minutes a day plus I have a couple of other projects ( bow's) I have been working on also. See ya.

I thought you guys might want to see the arrows.  Pat haft-ed the points and sent them to me. I added buffalo horn reinforced nocks and fletched them. I put turkey feathers on the hunting arrows, and goose feathers from Kenneth on the practice arrows. The shafts are buffalo nut, silky dogwood, privet, and sourwood.  They have no finish on them, so if anyone wants to finish them this is your last chance to speak up before I do it.  Justin

Yes Bob, hide glue.  I cut the feathers with a shard of obsidian too. (actually several shards) The cuts aren't perfect, but all in all I would say it worked pretty good. Don't tell anyone I used super glue on the horn inserts though. Justin

Just in case nobody remembers the stone points are from Cowboy. Justin any surprises with the hardwood shoot arrows? You did a nice job with the nocks and fletching.     Pat
