Copy Cat Bow
« on: May 06, 2016, 12:02:35 pm »
 So through this site I have developed lots of friends.  One of those is Greg, Badly Bent.  Recently he sent a bow to me.  Wow what a bow.  The look the feel it was better than any of my previous bows by 100 times.  His bows are each a work of art.  I hope to some day be a s good at finishing and vision as he is.  I cant understand where he gets his inspiration for the finish work.  This is one of those bows that you say " I have to try one of those"  and that's exactly what I did.   This is a bow is a tribute to his skill.  Upon completion I realized that I have a lot to learn.   His is the green one mine is the rust color.

Copying is a great form of flattery. Looks like ya followed Greg's lead well!

Good work! ANd it looks as the bow has potential for an even longer draw.

Cool!  Nice work on your bow Nathaniel and I'm happy to hear your enjoying the one I made for you. I recently copied one that was given to me in a trade as well.  Now if I only knew how to knap I'd be attempting to copy some of that awesome work you sent to me. :)
