She came out very nice, Josh. She'll be a stable hunting bow for sure. Well done!

Thanks all. A big thanks go out to both Anthony and Greg for all the advice these past 2 years. Can't wait to go back next year and be able to focus on something other than scraping!

Beautiful bow,the skins look great,did you darken the back before you put them on ?
They look darker than normal, just the way I like them. Great job.Congrats.

Tips/grip and tiller all look good.

Should be a killing machine.

Well done. Not surprised those guys could help you make a shooter, lots of talent down there.

Thanks again gentlemen. Nice to come home from work this morning to so many good comments. Long night. Good eye, pappy. Yep, I ran all over down there looking for something to darken the back with. You should have seen the looks and heard some of the comments when I came back and started coloring the back of this little piece of osage with a black magic marker

. And thanks for the antler!

Off topic, the new espresso stout I was telling you about down there gets bottled today. Roughly 4 weeks from the first official "taste test". I'll save a few bottles for next year.

Well done, Josh! Looks sweet.

Why weren't you wearing your kilt in photos? The camo would have set off the snakeskin!

I still have those bottles for you, let me know when you'll be at SWOCC.

Thanks Steve. Unless weather is bad, I'll be there this Mon. Funny you mention the kilt, when I first saw these pics I thought my shorts looked like one. Liked the pattern, now may be getting yet another 1.

What a pile of crap.

no man it looks great.

That's a beauty! Yup, I was right there when you made your first bow. I took my time and still love *my* bow. You rushed it and... yours turned out "a bit light."

Bow #2 is gorgeous. I am so happy it turned out so well. Congrats bro-in-law!

P.S. Wish I could have gone with you this year! Argh! Next year!
