Ken, I think it's gonna take the self bow honors.  It just has a snakeskin backing, which won't put it  in with the backed bows?  It would likely take whatever class it is in.

George. It may need a class of it's own ...wow that is cool! !!

O, you're right Pappy, I missed that post of yours before...probably was still shell shocked from the pictures. :-[  Lovely bow in a class by itself for sure.

Pappy that is one Sick Stick! Incredible in everyway.  Few people could have pulled that one off, but you certainly were up to the challenge. Excellent detail work with the tips, skins and especially the handle. A bow like that will turn heads where ever it goes and is the stuff dreams are made from. Take that beauty to a few compound shoots and we will have a whole new influx of conversions. Well done my friend!

Not sure how I missed this one before, but sure am glad I saw it now!  Can't really say anything that hasn't already been said.  Thanks for sharing Pappy!

Pappy, what can I say that has'nt already been said....all of the explitives are appropriate. I think the thing that sticks out the most is that it truely is in a class by itself. I have a couple really snakey staves in the shed that I'm holding on until I am confident I have learned the patience necessary to do them justice. Thanks for the inspiration.    Danny

I know you put your heart and all your talent into this bow Pappy, and to me it serves as a testiment of your years of experience and devotion to this craft.

Pappy your work never ceases to amaze me, when i tried a stave that snakey it was a pain to tiller and after all the work the high crown (really high) popped up, the break doesnt go below the highest part of the crown, from your expeirence would it be oK to glue it down and then put a rawhide backing or should i just take wood off of the back of the bow and take the crown down eliminating the snakey effect on the high crown

Pappy, ditto to all those comments above.  I am just replying so that you don't think I don't admire the finished product. Simply amazing.  I know you are very proud of this bow, as well you should be.
