Dane:
Thanks, Pappy. Okay, our secret.:)

Your bow sock will be as nice or nicer, since this was good practice as much as anything else. I'm thinking of a different method to close the top, and maybe another innovation or two, like a pocket for a bow stringer. I expect to have it done by the end of the next weekend, if not this weekend.

Alright guys here are some pictures. The bow has two coats of Tung oil on it. After the last coat I gave it a good rub down with steel wool. I have put an arrow rest(tooling leather soaked with CA glue) on each side of the handle and rasp them to shape. I applied the pen work to the lower limb. I tried to match the style of writing on the cover of the PA magazine to the words Primitive Archer. What do you guys think? I should be receiving the rattan in the mail tomorrow. Up next is the rattan handle wrap and six or eight coats of Tru-Oil. Do you guys approve so far?

Excellant!!!  The rattan handle and Tru-Oil will really kick it. The lettering looks great. I think we will keep you around!  ;)   Pat

Dog gone that's a purdy bow.

bullcreekboy:
Thanks Pat and Skeater. I was a little worried that I would really screw it up when I tried to make the lettering look like the magazine cover.
