The following comment is from my dad (Doug):
I hand drew the artwork. I used oil paint on the feathers, and part of the deer. The elk is done in ink. All sealed over in true oil. I also used a black sharpie for the limb tips, and I darkened with the same underneath the snakeskins to bring their color out. I want to thank Pappy, Greg B, and Big A for their help and advice on the building of this bow. Looking forward to hunting with it this season. The deer antler on the front of this bow came from a 6 pointer I took on my dads old farm. It has a special meaning. I've got a new Hickory bow in the works, and a matching Osage Stave that I plan to start working on soon! I think I'm hooked.
