Osage gift bow

[Parnell]

Hello my friends,

This is a set I've been working on for some time, for a buddy of mine that has been serving in the Marine corps for a long time as an occupation.  He has been over seas and I've wanted to do something special for him.  He is currently in the states and graduating from a school so this set is going to be given as a congratulations present.  I think he will be pleased.  The Osage recurve is 70" long and 53# @ 28".  Ram horn overlays and 'Gator grip.  I'm giving him a basket quiver I wove and six Tamarack arrows with goose fletching.  Three will have field points, three will have Zwickey broadheads.  Also, a necklace with a Alafia River coral point and my wife Angie sewed a fleece bow sock for him. 

There is an extra B50 string, but the string the bow has is fast flight with ground hog silencers.  I shot this bow at the Tennessee Classic and it's a good bow.

Thanks,

Stephen

I hope he feels appreciated, Thomas.

Here is a photo of the arrows I've been making to "stick" onto the string.  I do this with a drill bit, it's great.

That is one very nice setup. I really like the gator grip. I do have one ? Did you underwear model before your teaching career?

[Badly Bent]

Real nice gear, getting all that should feel like hitting the archery jackpot to him. Hand crafted gifts that come from the heart are always the best, nicely done Stephen.

Nice work on everything it should put a smile on his face when you hand it to him.

Fantastic bow Parnell ! Great that you would do that for a friend.
I'm attempting a bow very similar and am interested in the mass weight because I've been working one for the bow trade and thinking I've already stretched the limit.
