It's unAmerican not to stop for football, and a very nice bow....

 Beautiful bow. Gotta try the vinegar stain. Gives it a nice patina.

I already know when we see the bend that it will be classic Carson with the perfect tiller. Nice job all around.  I'm intrigued by the vinegar and steel wool stain. I think I saw some like that done by Ralph Renfro at OJAM. It'll sure take the brightness outta that yella wood. I've thought about trying that but never did. Just get mezmerized by the gold and wait for it to turn naturally.  I like it. Good job.   Danny

Thanks everyone for taking the time to comment on it. I still havent gotten the full draw photo taken. These short winter days seem to slip away from me.  Tomorrow will get the photos taken for sure.

Thanks again for the comments. Ducks really put on a show! Lookout buckeyes!  :laugh:

Shot just a couple of arrows through her today at the sylvan archery range with some good company.  It sure is a nice shooter. Good balance of smooth draw and snappy shooting. First time I had shot it after stitching on the elk hide handle wrap. That thick elk hide completely dampened the little kick it had when bare handled. Hard bow to let go of.
