That's pretty....................and where is the full draw Mr.?
I guess it's ok:)
Not bad for a lefty;) just kiddn, that is a beautiful piece of work, well done tiller :thumbsup:
Yes! very nice.
Very nice, DVS! Hey! Don't ya'll know lefties are more creative and artsy than everybody else? LOL...
How does she shoot?
That is a very nice looking bow, love the boa skins.
SWEET!!
Great lookin bow and tiller. Nice job on the pics too. Those persimmon trees look like they would make some pretty good bows too. ;)
Thanks everyone. Im pretty happy with thia one. I shoot right handed though, so it was tuff to shoot this one in. I do write left handed so who knows.
Nice looking bow!
Wow! That is a beauty.
Dave. :notworthy:
Wow !!! She looks so nice and clean and slick. :thumbsup: Good job Dave. She looks real classy.
beautifully done...sir!
Thanks for sharing!

Very Nice - someone is going to have a merry Christmas!
Very nice Dave!
Nice Dave! I need to do some research on R/D tillering. I gotta get that down.
David that is a fantastic bow. You really have the tiller of those R/D bows figured out. Love the skin. Especially the way you have the pattern split to the side. Very unique!
Thanks you guys. Here is the only unbraced pic i have right now. Ill try and get a better one up soon.

Keenan. Thanks. I couldnt decide which way to use the skin. I think it would have looked good either way though. I am glad i went with splitting it in half though. If i hadnt been out of town this weekend i could have had a 20ft python :knothead:
Oh well... Next time.
A great looking bow!
I love using boa and python for skinned bows, it is like getting a rawhide backing that looks really nice.
I agree Walt. I have an albino burmeese that was over 13ft and the skin is thicker than rawhide. This skin wasnt all that thick though.
Dave Where did you take those Pictures?
Most were taken by glenn at his parents house in St. Clair. We went there for a family christmas party. His camera is better than mine by far.
Ooooooo Baby! That is awesome looking.
Can I be on your Christmas list?
Very nice. Love the skins
I did note that one is a lefty Buddy :laughing:
Love those skin!! Great looking bow!
Very nice! Now I have something else to do on my list. Is that a stave bow that you induced the reflex/deflex into? If so I would love to see your form and method on that. All I ever work with is staves but haven't conquered the r/d profile as of yet.
It is a stave bow cut from my farm.

Simple caul drawn freehand and a heatgun to warm it up.
WOW! Beautiful....
God Bless,
Nathan
Oh my, that is a beaut! Merry Christmas.
-Jeremy :coffee:
Slick...never seen anything but rattlesnake myself...love the camo effect. Copperhead would look nice too I think...may not be big enough though.
Diamondback. Lots of people use copperhead, but you are right, ot does take a few big ones to cover a bow. I have two big sets waiting for that special bow. Thanks for the compliments everyone.
Jerry..i won't buy that one off of you :laughing:
Scott, the bow lives in moscow mills now. Pretty close to you. All you haveto do is learn to shoot left handed. :archer2:
very nice , good job
