That bow turned out beautiful( I've seen it in person)It shoots like a dream and is real smooth. Excellent work as usual...I can't wait to see your dad and his new bow in action on Sunday!!!

Sweet baby Jablonsky!  And shut the front door!  THAT is way too cool for words, both the finish work and the sentiment that is behind it. 

Love the location for the photos, those rock houses are nice camping spots in the heat of summer.

Thank you guys for all the great comments! I'm really lookin forward to giving him the bow Sunday. For those that asked about where the pictures were taken, the place is called Buttermilk Falls and its located in Homewood, Pa. My friend Colton and I always try to find new places to take pictures. It's a great excuse to get out and walk in the woods and see different sites. The bow pictures look great in a natural setting

Fathers day and the shoot came and went. We had a blast today. Gonna post some more pics in the shooting section of the forum. My dad really like the bow finished and shot it quite well to boot. He was really surprised and thankful when gave it to him. He said he had a feeling it wasn't broke. Here is some pics of him.... check out the other pics in the shooting forum. I also got a surprise today

That is a well crafted and special bow. Any dad would be proud to own that one, I bet he's showing off his sons work to all his friends. Great job.
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.
