Well it was a bad couple of days, I hurt my back splitting out an osage stave and was laid up til yesterday. The bow is shot in, sanded and ready for finish. I'll take a couple of pics today.

Finish looks like this afternoon. . .maybe.

Wingnut,

That is a great looking bow.

What are the limbs made from? Appears to be Bamboo and Osage.

Thanks

Here are a couple of pics after installation and shaping the tip overlays and sanding the bow.

It is in the paintbooth ready for sealing coats later today.

Chris will be home this Saturday if things go well, he'll be one happy camper.

Larry Surtees · November 10, 2008, 06:02:00 PM

That is one great looking bow! Just received an e-mail, and Chris will be in Pensacola this Saturday.

Larry,

The bow should be there Wed or Thurs. Just in time. Hope he can lay something low with it while he's home.

Great job.

Larry Surtees · November 10, 2008, 08:32:00 PM

Mike,

We are sure gonna try. We are headed to the cabin for 6 days of hunting fun. That is one pretty bow, and I'll be on the lookout for it.

Thanks again,

Larry

That is really neat and good timing.

Crooked Stic · November 10, 2008, 08:34:00 PM

Very nice.

Chris Surtees · November 10, 2008, 11:13:00 PM

Bow looks great Mike...can not wait to get her tuned up and into the woods.

Technology is great...turns out that there is free wireless in the airport in Ireland. So, while waiting for crew swap I get to hang out on TG and check out my new bow

Killdeer · November 11, 2008, 07:22:00 AM

It sure is a beauty!

Tehy tried to deliver the bow yesterday and now it's in the USPS. Killdeer did you have anything to do with that?

Will someone go rescue the bow from them, they are probably fondling it right now.

Mike
