Thanks guys,that means a lot from this bunch. :) I'll watch for that Pat. ;D Gordon I used
a chain saw file for the first cut in and the just a small flat file and took my time.I don't usually cut much of a shelf but it is handy to keep the arrow on while it is hanging in a tree.I keep my bow hanging most of the time.The outer part is thick leather glued on and then trimmed down at a bevel to match the shelf,just gave me a little more shelf without cutting into the riser.Thanks again.

Pappy that is one beautiful bow, the skins set it off great, and the handle colour is a great choice. That is a bow anyone would be proud to shoot.

Man! Those colors are fantastic.  I also like the transition between the skin and leg bone tips....simple...perfect.

Pretty bow Pappy.  You planning to head West next year?  I've been giving it some thought, I have a friend in WY who's finally getting himself established.

 That's a pretty bow Pappy. I wish we had Copperheads down here instead of all those old Pythons and Boas, and stuff.
