Great great bow !!
love it. I keep coming back to see the pictures
the wood, the story behind, the carp skins (!)... even the checks !!
Not shure about lemonwood tips but it's a super bow anyway

Did you use some filler to make the checks turn black? 

I'm working on a a similarly checked stave right now.

Those checks were so old they were black to begin with. All I did is add super glue until they filled. I did the filling  little at a time so the glue wouldn't run through.

Very nice bow Pat. I've always been a fan of checked wood bows,especially since most of my wood is like that. Good job. God Bless

Wow!!! I'm totally stoked.  Pat sent me a message informing me that I should expect a package.  Sure enough a few days later my wife calls to tell me I received a package.  Being her usual ornery self, she would not give me any more details than that.  After a week of teasing, she finally sent me a pic.  It was island girl!  We finally got nice enough weather to try her out and snap a couple pics.  She shoots hard, fast and right where I look.  Thank you so much Pat!  My photographer (middle daughter)  wanted to try it out as well.  She had a little trouble hitting full draw.  Lol!  Thanks again Pat!  She's a beauty!  Josh
