That's a nice looking character bow. 

There was a guy on here several years ago that used to makes bows like that regularly.  If I remember right his name was Chris Tindall, can't remember his username now

Quite the bow. We'll need the full draw for July BOM consideration.

Thanks for looking and the comments.

It takes a little more time, but I like the character bows best.
I got lucky with this one, but it worked out.
I should finish it by Friday, and have some more photos.

Cowboy, I am always interested in character staves.

Pappy, I haven't touch that one lately. I have been busy
making arrows for two different shoots coming up, one
of them being Denton Hills. I will finish that stave before
our hunt in December.
