That young man's bow turned out amazing. Patrick is one of the most selfless men I have ever met, always willing to listen and help, no matter what you asked.

Thanks you very much Kyle, I really enjoyed visiting with you.
Im pretty sure I was as proud of how his bow turned out as he was to have finally finished his first bow. Sometimes of you may remember him, he has been working on that stave for the last 4 years at Marshall. He said that was the only 2 days or so he would mess with it because of how challenging of a piece of wood it was. The stave had to have been very old when he got it. Had a high crown lots of pin knots and 2 small limbs growing out the back. If finish tillered to 60@28, 63 TPT slightly bending in the handle at full draw, exactly what he wanted. I want to Thank Pearl, DVS, Chris Gault and A-aron for their expert opinions when I needed a needed a hand with his bow. I personally would have been very happy to have made that bow for myself.
Here are just the few pictures that I managed to get. Once again so busy I forgot to take pictures! Plus my phone was normally plugged in or dead.
Sleek 's son Daniel drawing the bow that I have to him a year ago. Might be time for a new one sleek!
Mike doing some torture testing. Looking good though buddy!
My new flea market find draw knife. I christened it Thursday night at the pavilion. I still never got that ring chased!
