Got my trade bow-pics uploaded!!
« on: July 01, 2013, 06:41:48 pm »
I heard my wife talking to someone on the front porch. When I looked around the corner to see who it was, I saw a long white tube in her hands. She was talking to the mail lady. I quickly opened the package to find a fine bow from Steelslinger. I am right in the middle of a project, right now, that has to be in today. I will post some pics later this evening or in the morning. Thanks, Brad!!

OK... I finally had time to upload the pics. Before I post, I would like to thank Brad for such a fine bow. It is a real piece of art. I have seen photos of bows skinned with sturgeon, before, but there is no way to describe how they look in person. I love the uniqueness of this bow as well as the balance and attention to detail. Here are a few pics...









If you will notice in the arrows in target shot, I split one of my arrows. This bow spits them out with authority and is very smooth and accurate. I hope my recipient is as pleased with the bow I made for him as I am with this one. Thanks so much Brad. What a swell gift!

Congratulations Kenny!  That is a fine bow!  I got to fondle it a bit a couple weeks ago and you are right, those skins are beautiful!  And from what I understand, they are gonna be hard to come by in the next few years.  I was impressed by the density and feel of the Oregon ash as well.  Brad certainly did an excellent job putting that together for you.  Well done Brad and its a fine piece of Oregon well deserved by you Kenny!  Josh

I'm Glad you like it! I had a hard time judging accuracy shooting with my left hand, but it seemed to hit where I was looking.
