bw sapwood Delaware bow. New pics added
« on: January 24, 2012, 12:34:34 am »
I made this bow for a lady I met in Ok . She told me that she was Delaware and that she loved archery, but had been without a bow for ten years.  I didn't think much about it until I got home and noticed a little piece of bw sapwood in the scrap pile.  I then remembered the lady without a bow and went to work. 2 hrs. Later , I was putting the finish on it.  It's 47" ntn 35# @ 24". The lady had tears in her eyes when I gave it to her.  When I got going back down the road, I realized that I don't even know the lady's name. The moral of this story is, if you are to bring someone to tears, be sure they are tears of joy!   ;)  Josh
