Well done, my friend.

I have been doing this for a long time...late 80's.

Bowyers like me have taken bowyery as far as we could.

As I age, the bows/year have decreased and it takes me longer to make one.

Bowyers like you and several others have taken it further. I feel self-bowyery is in the good hands of the younguns.

Keep up the good work.

JW, you got that right. Without fellas like Jawgey Poo, pappy, Pat, Marc, Steve and so on. I wouldn't be half the stick bender I am at this point.

That looks like it going to be a smooth and fast shooter. Great job!

Great looking bow! I'm excited to see this complete. I keep checking this post looking for new pics, I think you are falling behind Pearly.

I tillered some weight off last night and shot it at 27" about 30 times. Its visibly faster than crap. I'll get 28" from it.

Eventually you'll even stop shooting 65" straight bows.  :laugh:

Very nice Chris, resting and braced profiles look great. You'll have her all slicked up for me to see up close in a few weeks for sure and no doubt it'll be nice. Looking forward to it.

Thanks guys. We have some windy warm weather sneaking in this week. I'll take that time to finish this up and skip hunting. Hopefully I can add a few pics as I go. The boa skin from Pat is beyond incredible. Never seen such a perfectly handled snake skin. The inside was so meticulously cleaned that is doesn't have that thick rawhide feel, its quite pliable. Immaculate is the best descriptive.

C'mon man.  This build is taking forever.  Get that stick finished up and post some good pictures of it.
