As much as I'd love to bust your chops ole man... I must admit that's pretty sweet!!   :thumbsup:  

Did you stain the bow, or is that just some really dark Osage?

Thanks guys. I have so much to do outside this time of year that I don't spend a lot of time in the shop. First thing I had to do here was figure out how to work the darn camera. It's a cannon power shot S3 and it's way over my head. Had to read the book to set up the timer delay to take these pictures. And I didn't capture the entire bow on the outside pictures:) Had to trigger the timer and run around front and pull the bow. Never said I was a camera wizard. LOL

Very nice. I am going to build me a bow just like Roy's one of these days. I have already built my form like his now I just need to gain some experience.

Walnut stain and 4 coats of tung oil -- I'll have to put that in my Roy's Tri-Lam bow notes.

Can't be good at everything, your bow building skills makes up for your camera skills. (Or lack of).
