Real nice bow.  What an honor!  Are those pins in the tips?

Thanks Guys,ya Greg I hate building one with that long of a draw,but after 100 or more shots by him Friday it seemed to be still holding up nicely,take the flipped tips out of the mix and still had 1 1/2 of reflex and started with about 2 after I finished it and shot it in myself ,trying to overdraw it.  :) Peacebow_Coos,yes they are pinned like a knife scale,I had one come off which usually don't happen but decided since it was for someone else I would be sure it stayed on,turned out looking pretty cool,at least to me and he really liked it so I guess that is all that matters. One of theses days Chris  ;) :) Thanks lostarrow glad you enjoyed the article. Thanks again for the comments.  ;) :)

Great job Pappy that draw is sweet.  I'm working on one with a longer draw than I'm used to right now.  I'm with Greg,  but I have to try ::).  Hope it looks a quarter as sweet as yours when I'm done.  Great job again ;)

That one sure turned out nice.  We've got that same kind of rat snake down here.   Those skins go good with that style of handle wrap.  I have let them pass by in the past since I considered them a "good snake".  After seeing this bow, they better crawl a little faster.  :)  Great looking bow Pappy.

Pappy,

Nice work!  I have a piece of osage I have been looking at making that same design with.  Does osage lend its self that that howard hill style bow?  Would you do it again?

Osage will make most any kind of bow,yes I have built a few with this kind of draw and will probably do it again,just don't care for it,most I build at least for myself is around 26 draw, and to be honest when I measure folks that want to build a bow they almost all say 28/29 but most come in at 25/26/ 27. Lots of folks say the draw 28/29 but truly very few really do,at least from what I have seen. ;) :)

Smooth, flowing lines that even a neophyte like me can see Pappy. Bows that are made to the shooter should last as long as short draw bows that are made to shoot and look pretty, especially with experienced bowyers like you crafting them. Superb work!
