Wow! You sure do pretty work. I have a bunch of questions but I will ask one. Did you shoot the bow any before you gave it a final finish? I was just wondering if character bows like this one can be shot before final finishing?

Absolutely!!! You treat it like any other or more so. I shot it for two rounds before I even added the handle accents and shaped the handle out,then shot it for two more rounds after I shaped it before I finish sanded and sealed it up.

You have a way of turning crazy cool  staves into awesome looking bows, that stave fell into the right hands.
Has that beautiful color you only get from weathered and well seasoned osage. You got a heck of a nice bow out of that one Chris.

That thing is awesome blackhawk. I have a stave with a similar check in it that is causing me some issues on how I will lay it out. Hope it turns out half as nice as that thing.

Whaaaaa?!!! :o
Oh yes... gorgeous.
I love the way the tiller still looks spot on, it makes no compromises for being a weird stave.
Bravo... I'd take my hat off to you if I had one on ::)
