I agree with Dave...some really nice work. I love the "Sticker" and am a sucker for a bow with a little character quirk like that...

Makes me want to load up my 2 boys and drive from MI to Ohio just to give them a shot at owning a bow like those, very cool.

Love them both!

sTicker has the best wart I've seen yet and Thumper looks rowdy, like it's just ready to jump. Does Thumper have quite a bit of reflex unstrung? Those limbs are plump!

Excellent work!

I induced about 2 1/2" reflex in the hickory and the unstrung profile is now straight after shooting it in.

Another shot of the sTicker

I see happy kids in those bows futures! Well done Joe.
I made a hickory bow years ago with a "sticker" just like that and named the bow..."Sticker"!

Awesome lookin bows! I love the color of that hickory bow. What kind of stain do you use on hickory? I've tried some different colors but never had anything that looked that good.

I hunt rabbits and act like a kid, so you can send one of those my way. ;)
