pd and me made a mini bow trade, got mine today 3:00west coast time, 66" 59# @29" hhb/paduk tips, first I gotta say is this bow is beautifully, nice smooth draw and hits hard with my lamed birch arrows, I lined up two of my homemade targets, one stops most arrows and about half went thru both and into the fence, to bad I could only shoot 2 doz thru her . tore the cuticle off the 3rd finger on my shooting hand and it got sore, but at 12 yds I was making fist sized groups, thanks Chris, this is sweet brother, no full draw today, gonna go somewhere nice for that(http://i623.photobucket.com/albums/tt320/bubncheryl/101_4166_zps1568eb22.jpg)

Sweet, Pearly makes nice bows, I got two of them..

Glad it made it all the way across safely bub. I hope it holds up and shoots great for years buddy. The finish is Tung oil and paste wax.

nice.it looks like a sweet shooter.

Nice bow! I like these mini trades. There is quite a few people on here I would love a bow from, PD being one of them.
-
How many coats of tung oil, Chris? Did ya like that stuff?
-
Sweet bow, I have hhb coming out my ears and have yet to make a bow that has satisfied me. I think none of it was seasoned well enough. Hope my next will be close to that nice.

4 coats of Tung oil and 4 coats of wax on bubs bow. Im wishing Id tried it sooner Royberto. On the bow Im building for Dave, I started with one coat of shellac, then four coats of Tung Oil. The shellac base coat really livened up the grain. I will give it four coats of wax in a few days.

That's a keeper right there. Pearly makes a mean HHB bow. Good job on the mini trade guys.
-
Man thats great bub. Looks like you got a fine one there and a hard hitter too. Nice work on that bow Pearl.
-
Looks sweet, Bub. Ole Chris did good for you. Did that lefty bow give you any trouble, PD?
-
yeah I made out like a bandit, but I still have to finish pearlie's bow, getting mine really got me motivated, Bub
