seabass:
nice work Rich.that is just beautiful.thanks for the look.

chamookman:
Nicely done Half Eye ! Bob

Badly Bent:
Rich, I LOVE YOUR WORK!!!
That is a beautiful set, everything in there is art to my eyes and getting a bow out of the old weathered wood to bend that far at that length is amazing to me. You know I love the scalloped bows, made a few myself and every time you post another makes me want to
start on one again. Hope I get the chance to meet you some day and have some coffee and talk about these bows. Ours wives would
likely have a lot to talk about also, mine won't do the single digit weather photos outside anymore too. ;)
Well I'm off to the shop now, got my inspiration to start another scallop bow. :)

Trapper Rob:
You do some awesome work where do you get black butter obsidian at never heard of it I bought some black butter dacite.
Rob

half eye:
Thanks very much fellas.

trapper: I am not a knapper, the knife blade was made by Dan Hamblin (member) from Ogden Utah. He said the black butter obsidian comes from Idaho/montana....someplace up in that neck of the woods.

Jeff: I was gonna make ya a bow for the Christmas exchange, but seen that ya wanted osage, so I didn't have any of that so ya got a quiver instead. I have a bow that would look good with it though, but you may not want to shoot it that short.....ironwood, 32" long and draws 60+ @ 17" unbacked and undecorated, it's a stave bow like the one for this set, think it only weighs 5 ounces or so. got a few pics of it.

Thanks again fellas appreciate the nice comments. Working on a couple more "sets" one from black bear, one from a grey fox, and one from an otter.
