Lesken2011, it looks like you are off to good start. I look forward to seeing the finished product!

As far as my bow goes, its sort of a gull wing.  The main difference is the reflexed tips, which makes it a five-curve.  Speaking of tips, what do you all think of these?  Josh

Looks good.  I'm assuming it's getting some rattler skins to match?

I got my trade bow sanded today.  I think I'm going to put it in the sun and let it get a tan before I seal it up.
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

You assume correctly sir.  Right after the sinew cures, it's getting a nice pair of prairie rattlers.  Josh

That looks wild! I LIKE IT! Can't wait to see it with the skins!!
