"Stinker" is my first selfbow I've ever built. But only with a lot of help from my buddy Glenbo. For more pix of the slow progress it took took to complete it check this out...

I'm kinda proud of it so I figured I'd post some pix here as well.

It came out better than I even thought it would have and shoots great. Speed is suprisingly good and it's deadly quiet.

Awesome looking bow for sure. You got plans to hunt with Stinky this season?

Guru, once again you have created art! I hope she shoots as good as she looks... Awesome!

I swear, I wish I had one ounce of the talent and craftsmanship most off you guys have here.

Beauty Guru.

How does it shoot?  Everytime I have the inkling to buy a self bow, I shoot one and am instantly "shocked" to my senses.

Very nice! Cool looking bow, it'd be perfect if the shelf was on the right side. Lol!  

How cool is this? Way!! I'd say....

Looks like a "Blue Racer"!

Nice job!!

God bless,Mudd

That looks great ! Now take it into the woods and have it earn its keep  

Curt, brother that is AWESOME!  Can't wait to see a hero pic with her this Fall!

hickory is awesome for a bow. i miss  the one i had. sorry to hear that the skins started to rot and stink. what a way to name a brand new bow. ruddy

I was thinking about that bow the other day and wondering if you had finished it......good for you Curt, it looks good and obviously shoots well.  Congrats!!!!

David

 Great job!!! That's something to be proud of and a bow your son will cherish someday.

Very cool bud.Love the skins!!

Schweet! "Stinker"?

That is a great looking bow and the fact that you did it makes it even better. Great job!

WOW!

Bro....That bow is sweeeeet!!!!    

         

That is sweet Curt  

Thanx fellas....I messed up with the link I attatched...it went straight to the last page of the thread on the bowyers bench. Fixed that now.

I knew I messed it up because I got some questions that would have been answered had I posted it correctly the first time...

"Do you have plans to hunt with it"....

You bet I do!

Although I don't plan on hunting the whole season with it. I will without a doubt spend some quality time with Stinker.

I have plans to make some arrows with some very special points(when I run down some 55-60# shafts).  Doug campbell damascus trades that were gifted to me by my buddy Vance "Iron Bull" Brewer, and some others will be tipped with some "Knife River" stone points that were given to me by the man himself Woody Blackwell in TX this year at the Pig Gig.

With those points, some stain fades to match Stinker, and some snakeskin crests from the left over stinky skin parts, the arrows should be a great compliment to the bow and will add that much more to the whole experience when it all comes together...I can't wait!!
