great thread, awesome bow, wonderful story!

The name of the bow???  For some reason I want to call it #45 or something about it's age.  There seems to be a connection between the 2 of you.

"Old Yeller"

Your friend told me to tell you he changed his address PM me and ill give you his new one    

Very Very nice there is some mojo in that bow. I have no doubt he will think he got the better end of that deal.

Joe,

Great thread.  I would have to say you are indeed a bowyer.

When you put the snakeskin on, after gluing it and letting it dry, do you remove the scales before applying the superglue?

I think he got the better end of the deal, one hey of a bow. Thanks for sharing.
