Title: for the Tennessee Classic
Post by: Pat B on February 26, 2015, 07:37:00 PM
I made this set specifically for the raffle table at the Tennessee Classic. The set consists of a 56" sinew backed osage bow(50#@26")with snake skin covering, Plains style coyote quiver with a bow case, "coyote face" detachable possible bag and knapped knife with deer leg bone handle(blade by Bill Stockdill)and its sheath on the shoulder strap. I have partially straightened 6 hill cane shafts and I will soon have arrows to complete the set.

Thanks guys.
I don't knap. Bill Stockdill(Hickory Bill) knapped the blade and I hafted it to the bone handle.
James, the stick is actually sourwood and it is the stiffener for attaching the possible bag to the quiver stiffener with the leather thongs you see in the pic.

Very cool! Nice work.

I figured it acted as a stiffener but didn't realize it aided in attachment, it can picture that though. Glad i asked... I really like this Pat, thanks for sharing!

That is one nice job, Pat. Looks like I may miss it again this year. My son is getting married. I may have to buy my raffle tickets online somehow.

This was the best Tennessee Classic ever. The weather was perfect with no rain, bright sunshine and cool nights.
 The raffle tables brought in over $4000 for the Twin Oaks Bowhunters and I'm proud to say that this bow, arrows, stone knife and quiver set brought over $1000 for the club. Matt Wirwicki from Michigan won the set...and an Egyptian Angular Horn Bow made by James Parker of Huntworthy Productions.

you could build another glass bow   :D  
that would be a collecters item- a "Pat B  Glass Bow"   :thumbsup:
Title: Re: for the Tennessee Classic
Post by: Pat B on May 09, 2015, 10:12:00 AM
I've only built one glass bow and it blew up even before I got a string on it.    :knothead:
 Maybe I'll put our Toyota Corolla on the table next year.    :D

I made it to the Classic(365 miles) on a $10 tank of gas each way. Heck, I can't give that up. I'll have to think of something else.    :rolleyes:
