OldBow:
Congratulations to Anthony Hayner of Clarksville, Tennessee
His Osage Character Bow is September Self Bow of the Month
http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/index.php/topic,14627.0.htmlFrom Anthony:I started this summer with two bows I was going to build for myself to hunt with. That changed when Greg B went to the wood barn to help a friend find a piece of wood to build a bow. He came up with the log that Pappy named the new project. They split and cut out the rough bows and one had my name on it. Man what good friends I have.
   This is the bow I built. It is 62" tip to tip. 52# @ 28" with two layers of sinew covered with a pair of prarie rattler skins. I sealed it with truoil  and Minwax clear satin polyurethane. This was the most challenging piece of osage I have worked on. The tiller is not perfect I know but I am still learning. The grip is a piece of elk skin I traded some spliced feather work for Greg. I tried to do a little more with it then most grips I do aftervseeing Greg's. The Tips are cow horn covered with deer horn. I just want to have a good hunting season with it. Hope you like it. Big A

A really nice finish job and great attention to detail...I especially like your grip. Fine job on the tiller as well and the bow is a very smooth shooter. Hope you get a shot at bullwinkle with it!" -GregB
