WOW...Cowboy, those diamonds really look great up close. I've gotta try some of that Tru oil on my next one. Really did a jam-up job for yours. Tiller looks nice too.
Never had a problem telling the Roosters apart...Those Dominekker's can get mean...since they're smaller maybe it's like the small man syndrome.... ;D  they'll spur you in a heart beat. I remember cranking them like T-Models......will never forget the smell of cleaning them....geeesh
You've got me wanting to glue up my hickory billets.....just glued up a couple of ERC billets and still have to finish the black locust I'm working on.....fun fun fun.... :D

Dustybaer:
thanks for the pics cowboy.  the grain of the wood fooled me (is that cambium?).  i thought it was part of the design, because it plays with and around the diamonds so well.  beautiful bow.

ber643:
That pic of the design pattern is great, Cowboy. I'm gonna add that as a "click - on"  on my TBD pages , since i specifically mentioned it.

cowboy:
thanks for adding my Hic to your site Bernie! Your gettin lots of bow's in there  :).
  Marius: that does look like Cambium on the back, it's actually the depression's where the Cambium was - I scraped it all out. What your seeing is the stain in the depression's that I didn't wipe off, speaking of stain I'll never use it again - too much drying time.

cowboy:
Sorry Jimmy, thanks. My wife's right - I am losing my mind!! and while focusing on my reply forgot to acknowledge your compliment. That there Tru Oil is some amazing stuff and I would'nt have known about it without the help of all the guys here on this site - much less build a bow. I am tired though, have spent the last several hours hauling flint up the creek bank in buckets in 90 degree humidity - will be posted in the near future ;D
