Title: Fun for you,,,, honey do's???
Post by: Osagetree on October 18, 2010, 06:56:00 PM
Thought I'd do something nice for the wife and call it a "Honey Do".

She saw someones armguard knive combo on here and wanted me to buy one fo her. Had some time and some boot leather someone gave me awhile back. Thought I'd put it to use and save me a couple hundred in the process.

I thought it was fun and the wife is really happy with her new set.

Nice work, wish my wife would like something like that for our 25th next month. Then maybe I could start planning our vacations instead of her!

Very nice work.  Better keep that hidden before other wives see it and expect the same from the rest of us.  

JK,  Looks Awesome   :thumbsup:

WOW. Nice job, that's some great looking stuff. With workmanship like that you should do a build-along. Again-WOW.

Man, all of that is great looking... the quiver, the arrows, and the armguard/knife combo.  You are really blessed to have a wife who appreciates your craftsmanship!

Wow...with talent like that... should we assume that we might see some of your skill show up on the St. Judes Auction next Spring?

Very, very neat and fine workmanship!

Extremely Impressive!!!  That is super nice.  I really don't need to let my wife see that, she might expect me to make one for her.  You have what I don't, talent!

God Bless,
Nathan

Wow, you guy's sure know how to feed a mans ego! Thank you.


The leather is all double layered to hide the stitching of the leather inlays, the knife is an older knife the wife bought for me years ago. I reworked the handle to make it compatible with the armguard.
Bowana Bowman, those are the shaft I won from you on TGMM. Wraps are from "Onestringer" and feathers are from another TG member who I can't recall who sent them to me.
Doc Nock, I'll see what I can come up with for the St. Judes auction.

Thanks again for the great comments! I let the wife read them and I think it even made her appreciate the gift even more! Now, if I can get her to lay down the compound bow, we'll have another convert to traditional.
