Diamonds -n- Sage
« on: August 06, 2016, 09:21:29 pm »
This stave had a weird bump comin out of the upper fade and it gave me no end of trouble. I finally had to quit worrying about it (as well as the string follow) since it shoots so well. Nothing special about this bow, other than the animal it's meant to kill. Time will tell if it lives up to its purpose.  Wdb's from Cip, rams horn from Chuck, and braintan from beadman. Thanks for looking, and God Bless!










And the money shot.

Man Scott you knocked that one out of the park  bud! I just seen all the pictures of this one in progress on Facebook. (I think it's the same bow?)
I love everything about it! That is a thing of beauty! I would be proud of that one for sure! Very well done! Killer full draw with the knapped pointed arrow!

That looks like a good ol', Osage, hunting bow. Well done, Scott.

Nice ! The profile says it all - Bob.
