HH BUG GOT ME - Part Two!

Charlie Lamb · February 19, 2015, 08:13:00 PM

James... I don't have any indoor places close at all. Oh the shame of living in the country. Normally our winters here are much milder and I think that makes it worse.
I'll bet you get more than your share up your way.

I found out today that, if you have never spoke with Charlie Lamb, you are truly missing out Guys.

We talked a lot about bow making stuff and as I already knew Charlie is FINE Bowyer and really knows stuff. He worked in Mr. Earl Hoyts shop, and that says it all, one of the finest bowyers ever.
Maybe one day I could work in Mr.Lambs shop for awhile, and get a pedigree (I haven't even got a Binghams kit pedigree lol)

It was great Mr. Lamb, Thank you. ..OE

Mr Berry, you and Charlie just made my day.

God bless,Mudd

That must have been quite the conversation.

Charlie, I also live in the country we are just blessed to have a guy that retired from the RR to open up small archery shop. Before that it was basement or brave the cold. I had to use my loader tractor just to clear a path to feed the dogs and my outdoor wood stove. I haven't seen my outdoor target in a month :( I'm dreaming about hunting turkey with my new Hill and bowfishing.

Charlie Lamb · February 20, 2015, 07:52:00 AM

I'm trying not to think about bowfishing and turkeys too much yet. I am however planning a hog/turkey hunt down in Texas about the first of April.

Guess I'll just tough it out and shoot in the shop or bedroom until then. I can always stand some form work at close range with my longbow.

I'm also considering a road trip to take some shooting instruction from John Shulz. At this point in my life I'm not sure I'm capable of changing anything bad in my form but it would be a gas just getting to talk to John.

K.S.TRAPPER · February 21, 2015, 09:34:00 AM

You could start by sending Charlie a PM and asking him if he
still has any left.

I won the Power Ball lottery today!!, or so it felt when I received a phone call that a package had been delivered from J.D Berry. I could wait to tear in to the package, and when I did, was lost for words. Mind you, I never seen an "in Person" Berry Bow. I've had to salivate from behind a computer screen. All I can saw is WOW!!!!

Pictures don't do this masterpiece any justice. The detail in this bow is truly the work of a master craftsman. All I told James is that I wanted a white belly and the rest was his iminigation and creation. James blended Wedge Wood, African Wedge, Natural & caramelized boo and blood wood accents in this piece of art I'm already on the list for a Misty-Dawn and can't wait.

Gordon Jabben · February 23, 2015, 06:45:00 PM

Beautiful bow.

WESTBROOK · February 23, 2015, 06:52:00 PM

Very nice Crispin

Mr. Berry does have a fine way with wood doesnt he!

centaur · February 23, 2015, 07:06:00 PM

Chenry, you now have some bows that will be collecting dust with that new OE. I know I do.
Very sharp looking (and doubtless, performing) bow.

ron w · February 23, 2015, 07:07:00 PM

WOW........nice one!!! Can't wait till my name pops up on the list!

Brianlocal3 · February 23, 2015, 07:23:00 PM

This is James's new personal bow.
I know it's a vixen with pink ivory handle. James will have go fill you in on the rest

Brianlocal3 · February 23, 2015, 07:24:00 PM

Outstanding bow there CRISPIN!!!!!
I see it is my favorite , not only of James's creations but of any bow I've ever shot.... A MorningStar.

There are a lot a good bows out there. James has been know to make one or two, but nothing can touch the MorningStar for me. Hands down the perfect bow!! Congrats

Green · February 23, 2015, 08:09:00 PM

Congrats Crispin! That's a superb piece of high performance artistry. Have lots of fun getting to know that one.

James.....Good on ya for Mr. Henry's bow and for taking time out to make a new one for yourself. Hope your OE shooting's improving!

February 23, 2015, 08:24:00 PM

Awesome James!

That Pink Ivory is a much softer hue than I would have expected based on online info.

Very nice indeed!!
...........................................

Crispin, That is a handsome stick!

akbowbender · February 23, 2015, 08:43:00 PM

My black on black Misty Dawn, and my brown on brown Morning Star just can't keep up on looks with Crispin's bow. Congrats on a real beauty.

Of course, James' personal bow is a smokin' good looker too!

Charlie Lamb · February 23, 2015, 09:00:00 PM

Tony... I surprised by the pink ivory as well. I expected "pinker". I likey!

I have always thought that John Shulz made the prettiest longbow I've ever seen. I still think that, but James is right in there with a strong second. Nobody else even close.

I could try to duplicate what he does but I think my ears would be bleeding before I got half way.

Mudd · February 23, 2015, 09:33:00 PM

My hats off to two(2) more beautiful bows and Mr Berry's handiwork.
