Another Invitational 2016 Bow Trade...

[JonW]

Ed it's a bendy. That's all I care to disclose at this time

[BowEd]

OK..... still looks pretty darn nice of what you've shown.

[BowEd]

The bow I've made is shot in I'd say.Over 200 arrows now.Still looking spry.Hate to let this one go but that's ok.

[lebhuntfish]

I know how you feel Ed,  I shed a little tear for the one I made last year for the trade.

Patrick

[BowEd]

Well I'm certain he'll have fun with it.If not he can send it back....lol.It's ready for finish.Debating whether to put a leather handle on it or not yet.Brain tan of course.....lol.It has a horn arrow strike plate so his release has to be good for a nice quiet clean loose.

[JonW]

Ed I personally like naked wood for a handle. Some people think I'm weird though. Probably for other reasons though.

[lebhuntfish]

Thats true John! Hope you are feeling better bud!
Ed,  if it's coming my way wrap that dude up. The feel of leather on the handle makes me feel like I have better control of the bow.

Patrick

[BowEd]

Yea me too.I've always been walking off from the beaten path anyway.

[BowEd]

How you coming along with your bow Pat?You had some sweet looking osage picked out last time I saw.

[JonW]

Feeling a little better Pat. Thanks for asking. I felt good enough yesterday to start another snaky osage stave. Chased a ring and got a good idea for the profile.

[Knoll]

I felt good enough yesterday to start another snaky osage stave.

WooooooHooooooo!

[JonW]

I am glad you are so excited Mike. You might get to finish it

[BowEd]

Need some bow porn????Here's the two I selected.The bow on the left is going.The bow on the right is staying.Not a recent pic but the tips on the left one have been narrowed a bit more too.About to the width of the right bows' tips.

[PaulN/KS]

OK,
Patrick is into leather, Jon likes his wood naked and Ed is showing off pictures of bow porn... 
 I think we're getting into a weird area here.. ?

[lebhuntfish]

Only you Paul,  only you!

Sweet looking bows Ed!
