Finally, got it finished!  Hickory, 64" ntn, 45#@26", Black painted goat rawhide wrapping, Meare Heath style, dull green background.  Ancient spirals thought to represent summer, winter and the equinoxes; ogham letters read "chead Bodgha" at the bottom, and letters "d" and "s" for the Irish words for Hawkdancer.

For some reason, the second pic included my camera roll, the first pic on the roll is the full draw.  Got to learn how to post direct from my phone/iPad !

Congrats hawk! If you are trying to post from an iPhone or pad, get an app called image sizer. It’s free. You can then size the photos to 400x600 or 600x400 depending on the layout of the photo and it will save a resized copy to your camera roll. You can then put that directly in the attachments tab.

Congratulations Jerry. I know you've been working on that one awhile. It's gotta be a good feeling shooting that one. Way to stick with it. Nice bow.

Thanks everyone!  I appreciate all the input during the process!  The next bow project is to turn an Osage stave into a bow for Jacie and get her shooting real bows!
