Trade bow for my buddy Wayne
« on: August 27, 2015, 01:45:11 pm »
Some of you may know Wayne P, he is the man behind the West Bottoms Bowyers Club in Kansas City, MO. He dedicates every Wednesday night to opening his doors to teach anyone who desires to learn about selfbows.  You can also find him every year at both Mojam and Bois D' Arc in Springfield, MO.  He is a great guy, loves to share his knowledge of bow building, and I am proud to call him my friend. 

A number of months ago we decided to do a trade between the two of us, and this is my offering to him.

62" NtN Osage
41# @ 28"
1 3/8" wide limbs with the outer 15" tapering to 3/8" tips
Buffalo horn nock overlays
Brain tanned buckskin via Stringman (Thanks Scott, I still owe you) with black buckskin lacing over cork handle
Fast flight string
Finished with 2 coats of shellac, then 6 coats of tung  oil and the stripes were painted with white enamel

That's a sweet bow!  Besides the wiggly limbs, the color of the lacing and stripes really sets this one off.  I still need to make it to KC one of these weeks...

I want to be your friend to A-a-ron :)

Very nice finish work again. You've made a few knock outs lately.

Well done Aaron! That is a smooth piece of wood. And it couldn't be for a more deserving guy. Wes is a standard up guy.  And you are too my friend! The only question I have is, why haven't I traded with you yet!? Patrick

Aaron, your workmanship is top notch! I love the flow and simplicity of this bow. I'm a big fan of Wayne also and I think he will be mighty proud of this gift! Can't wait to make it back down to Mojam next year and hang out again.

Looks like a very fine bow and well crafted.  Wayne should be delighted.
