Beautiful work Charlie!  You outdid yourself yet again!  

Bro, I'm proud of your homegrown bow.  Can't wait to see it in person.


Kinda reverse order, but I thought I would throw in some pics from April 2009 as the riser block and limb laminations were rough sawn from the timber.


Limb lams:

   


Here is the beginning of the riser block:
     


   


   


     

 
   


I couldn't resist adding this one from our initial work on the riser block.  How to celebrate a plan coming together, Charlie Lamb style:

That is cool!!!!!  great pics

[Charlie Lamb]

Good times for sure!! Amazing how much wood we had to cut away to find usable stuff for the riser. It was as pretty a piece of osage as I've seen lately... lots of red in the grain.

And thanks for the pics of the stogey!! Haven't smoked a cigar or a cigarette since last September... seeing that still makes me twitch a little.

[cacciatore]

Hat down Charlie!

[Fletcher]

Great stuff guys!  Osaage and Eastern Cedar (actually a juniper, not cedar) is one of the beat looking wood combos there is and this is a special example.

That bow is absolutely Awesome! I think I like that one and the color scheme better than any bow I've looked at recently, and I do lots and lots of scouring around on the internet just looking at bows and drooling.   :p  

I gotta tell ya Charlie and Chris.... my Tshirt is wet from drooling over that magnificent piece of Bowyer perfection!!    

Maybe one of these days I'll be good enough to make myself one of those.....NOT!
