To be honest I didn't make the badger bag, I traded for it.  And thought it would be a nice extra gift.  I did make sur to take notes on how it was put together.

Finishing up the handle on mine and just have to sew up the sheath tonight. Will go in the mail this week. Hopefully post up some pictures before I ship it out.
Is there anything better than wandering the earth with a stick and string in your hand?

Mine's supposed to ship today. I'm out of town so my wife is doing it for me.  I'll let you know for sure when I hear from her.

Well I just recieved my gift from (Hawkbow)  :) I never recieved a note with it so I am not sure what draw length or weight is but it appears to be a short Oak board bow with a snake skin backing. The string appears to be artificial sinew. I included some pictures of the bow after unwrapping it and will have to wait untill tonight to get a full draw after I find out what the full draw is?? I havent gone any further than braceing it untill I hear from Hawkbow so I will wait for that as well. Nice little bow Hawkbow and thank you very much!

Thanks again and im glad the waiting and anticipation is over :)

So I got the money shot of the bow Hawkbow sent me, I still dont know what draw length was intended but I figured 21" wasnt to much to ask for this size bow :) Still not possitive on the draw weight but it feels like about 20# @ 21"
My best smile!


21" draw


Thanks again Hawkbow!

here are the gifts I made for my recipient.  Dreamcatcher and stone/antler knife.  I traded my buddy Erik for the blade and I hafted it to antler with home made pine pitch and sinew.  I also made the stand from walnut and antler.   :)

Yep I am pushing mine down to the wire....I did not intend to do that but that is how things worked out.  Putting on the finishing touches and plan to ship it on Friday.
Happy hunting to all!
