Thanks Bubby!!
I've never held in my hands a bow made by another bowyer and I sure am glad I get to start off with one from you. It's a beauty. Will be arrows flying out of it ASAP and pictures to come real soon too.
Thank You!

I know what you're thinking...was he really looking to hit the lungs and backbone instead of the heart?
OK, so I need practice  ::) ::)
I sure will get it with this one.
Thanks again Bub.

Yes I do like a rest but also trying to practice some with no rest this year.
What are the silencers made from? Is this string FF?

Contrary to popular belief I save my back hair to make horse bridles , they are rabbit and the string is d-97

I wanted to post up some photos.  I've got an Osage recurve about done and I'm putting on the gator leather handle wrap, currently. 

I've got contender #2 underway and am doing another hickory scallop back/Iroquois design bow but this time it will have a stiff handle, so hybridized.  I should have a third contender done also which'll be a bend through the handle Osage bow about 62" long so should be a sweetheart, also.  I'll make up my mind when the fat lady starts to take the stage!!!

I'm using some cork padding to build up the handle on the Osage recurve, it's working out well!
