Be worth the trip to Tennessee just to see that bow!  Muy venenosa, eh Cip?

Darn skippy JW :o

I'm truly speechless and that's hard for me. Like Pinecone said and many others have said. Absolutely amazing work. I've wanted a Josh bow from sometime and man am I getting a Josh BOW ;) I love the name, but it's an oxymoron which only makes everything about this bow that much more special. In sure before Josh started on it; it was fitting of it's name. However, now it's like the Ugly Duckling.. The story behind the bow is as special as the bow it's self.

The curves and bend on such a short bow are just amazing!! The handle is outa the ball park and cobra skins???!!!! And I thought I was the snake man? I'm just a bat compared to these snakes  :o Those are the pretties and most interesting skins I have seen.  The horse hair connects it to my native roots and the handle with the head hood? PRICELESS!!

With this bow my man card just went up in stock.  ;)

Can't wait to meet you Josh in a few weeks and share a campfire with you and fling arrows from this fine old fence post.

Gracias doesn't convey the gratitude I have.

Skinny little bugger man! Cool skins.

Yup, that is one pretty ugly stick!
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

Thank you much fellas!  I've been working on this one for a while.  The skins came from Hong Kong. 
Bryce and Rich-  you guys were already on the list for a bow.  However, you'll have to be patient as I'm pretty slow getting em done.
Thanks again!  Josh

Almost forgot.....De nada amigo!  After all its just an ugly stick with a string.  Lol!
