Would like to see some antler knobs with engravings on them. My wife is getting me a set from sticshooter for my Birthday. Want to see what you guys have.
Thanks,James
I will get a pic up of a set I have. They are scrimshaw engraved with great detail of Grizzly bear head. One has a front view, the other a side profile. Best looking set I have laid eyes on to date...
Froggy

wow Guss,those are beautifull!Did you make those?
Here are mine. Since the bow concerned is a Whippenstick Phoenix, I made a design of a Phoenix and mailed it to Frank & Michelle. This is the result, I am more then happy with it to say the least! And Frank & Michelle are about the nicest and honest people you will ever meet!
My design:

Flying Dutchman,
That is a Beautiful bow. My next bow will be made out of those wood combinations. I am on the waiting list for a Big Jim.
el greco,
Those Grizzly knobs are mine, Guss was kind enough to put the pic up for me...
Thanks
I am going to start selling these carved antler bolts in the "Sponsors Classifieds" soon.
They will cost $99 for a pair. There is a TON of work that goes into one of these Owl carved burrs. I believe it shows in the quality of the final product!
Anyhow here are a few pictures. I will also be selling matching Belt Buckles (see picture). If anyone is interested please send me a PM.
Thanks! :thumbsup:

OK I have a question do you have to send them your bow so what when you get them they are not upside down when tightend....
I want some made but i am thinking they will have to send them to me 1st so I can mark the top and bottome of the button... Help me out guys
Its easier than that: they send you the bolts before they finish them so you can mark them at the right position. So you mark them and send them back, wereafter they finish the bolts.
For me it was different: since I live in The Netherlands the sending is much too expensive. So they send the bolts with a series of very thin washers (and the normal washers you need)so I could adjust my bolts perfectly.
Like I said: great people with a great service and a great product :)
i am looking for someone to make some custom antler knobs for my Jordan Stalker bows who would you guys suggest?
Sticshooter on here.... won't do better than dealing with him !!
As told: Sticshooter!

Ad, stated it correctly on how I prefer to set them.
just wanted to be sure to explain for those who asked as some have different terms when they ask that question on alignment of images especially and mainly for bezeled washers. For the flush over flat washer use we have always sent very thin washers to help increment align without adding loft of the bottom surface to flat washer over limb surface if preferred or not mattered we always send them with. And My method for an exact alignment for one specific bow for shoulder bezeled hardware (all bows threads have a different thread sequence once made) But my method for this specific detail has always been to set the burrs before carving, send to customer, have them mark each at 12 o'clock position and send back to me to carve. Some sets way back in the past asked to just have the carved and drilled out burrs and they would set themselves to avoid the extra few days to have it done but had them not set right from them and do not like to have a customer have to do this in case something were to not seat right, I do not like to take any chances if something were to go wrong and why I started making my own in the first place. Also when you send hardware that may be set in with a tool rather than your hand tightening the burr bolt you still may wind up with a wrong angle because of the difference in torque and would not look even. I Dont like doing any other way this has always been best for a specific image direction for bows that have permanent seated bezels and how I been doing for 10 + years for a specific image in alignment with the limbs and the same with the very thin washers and flush bolt use over flats. Hope this helps.Thanks,Frank<><
I am glad I was right on this one! I still get a LOT of remarks on your bolts Frank! People are really amazed when they see them and I tell the story! I am still very very happy with them! Say hello to Shell for me!
