I just finished this one up for the trade. I wanted to put it up for bom so I'm going to post it like this to. It's 62 in. Ntn and pulls 52@28. Tips are coco and antler. Finish is six coats of shellac. Handle is elk dyed black. The gold trim around the skins is sharpie marker, but don't tell anyone. :o

Well, thanks for signing up for the bow trade so that I have a tiny chance of receiving that bow!
She's a master work!
-
anyone who recives that will be very happy. only wish i could have taken part. SS
-
Wow. I love your bows Dvs...especially this one. Might have to borrow that sharpie trick for outlining skins. Looks sharp!
-
That's a Sharpie!!! ;)
-
Very nice bow. Are those black rat snake skins? If so those are the nicest most vibrant skins I have seen. Around here they are so dark there isn't much of a pattern.

What's worse is that you keep being reminded of a gorgeous bow that you, in all probability, will never get to shoot. That's why I keep deluding myself that I may be the recipient in this bow exchange. For a while I can live with my castle in the air. *sigh* I think I am in love.
With the bow, you sick people! The bow!

Jdub, I thought you liked the plain ones? >:D thank you. You do have a chance. >:D >:D
That's a Sharpie!!! ;)

sS- sorry squirrels thank you though.
Ok- it is a red watersnake a kid from the neighborhood gave me. I cut it in four and flipped one half to mix the pattern.
Thanks Carson, im a frequent visitor to your site. You make some killer bows to man.

Sick and wrong............................sweet bow Dave, very sweet. Its gotta be in that BA beard you got.
-
Fantastic bow, and I like the fact you have kids in the neigborhood bringing you snakes.
-
very nice work.that bow is awesome brother.i really like the watersnake skins.i need to find me some neighborhood kids that like to wrangle snakes.
-
Very nice.I like everything about it.A snake bow to boot.You'll get my vote till........
I watched iowabo try to get a snake bow to full draw yesterday with disappointment.His snake was out of this world though.Feel for him since I've had em brake too.What is it I heard that helps with that....Oh make the best of your victories and the least of your failures.Internally that is.I've got a pet peeve about braggers.I like to set em in their place.
-
Absolutley love it. All aspects. The unstrung profile, strung profile, full draw, skins, tips are awesome....the total package. I am working on my first take down and done walnut under anlter on the tips. I am really liking those two layer tips.
Great work!!!!
-
Thanks for the kind words guys.
Briar , the layers tips allow me to get my overlay above the bows back how I like em. Plus I can add some contrast to em.
Beadman, thanks. Bummer about the break. It hurts more with a cool stave like that.
Seabass and rps, I didn't know he was looking for me, but when he showed up with that beauty I couldn't let it go to waste.
Pearlie, my beard is like Samsons hair. The source of my power. Lol. I use a different inspiration method. ;)
Okie, somewhere between here and the rockies. That help any? >:D
Thanks Roy and gun doc.
-
Man I hope I live long enough to have a "DV bow"... again Dave they just don't get much nicer than that.... super job buddy ;)

Why Ed.....you wouldn't be suggesting that John would talk a little smack now and then would you? Lol! I know that's not what you meant, but it could be taken that way. That was a bummer when it broke, though. Hey DVS , I live between you and the Rockies! I think my pulse just quickened a bit! Josh
-
Josh. Your right. I looked it up Kansas is between here and the rockies. I guess you are still eligible.
Thanks kipwinger. You keep cranking out your bows and you will wonder why you ever thought mine were nice. How's your health been? 8) >:D
-
Lol! You have a clever way of saying a lot with darn few words. That is a sweet bow! Josh

Lmao! I guess since I've already fondled the Burlington bros. bow that John made for you, it would only be fair to back away from this one. However begrudgingly done it might be. :(
-
You guys are cracking me up. Marie will have the final say so. Or she already has. Lol I hear chocolate helps for her. I can be bought as well. Just saying. >:D O:)
Thanks arrow. 8)
