I came home tuesday to find a long box, I was as excited as a kid at christmas to see what was inside. it was wrapped in bubble wrap like a coccoon and as I peeled the layers off I saw yella wood, there were skinny little tips with cocobolo overlays, as I skinned the wrappings like a river otter, it exposed a wonderfully crafted bow, on the bow was the name blackhawk, it was a character stave with the bottom limb curving to one side, I strung it up and noticed that the string diceted the handle perfectly, I still wondered if the limb would cause the bow to torque when being drawn and shot, but the bow is smooth and accurate with good speed. special thanks to blackhawk for taking the time to build such a great bow it is much appreciated. excellent craftsmanship. I am planning on shooting this bow this weekend as I am going to take it as a backup bow for hunting this year, maybe wind up being my primary deer bow, I have a obsidian tip that billy made me so maybe the karma will aid my hunt. thanks again blackhawk ;D

Sweet bow JJ!

Frustration today as i was prepared to send of my bow today but couldnt get it to the stinkin PO.  Will get it there tomorrow morn. :-\

Meanwhile, during the early morning hours today, i managed to snap a leather needle n jam the dull end through the top of my fingernail and into my finger.   :o :o :o  This is not highly recommended!!!

Put the last coat of Tru-Oil on the Bow this evening.
Signed and Looking Pretty...
Hang the bow in wash room to dry.
Walk out after dark this evening to discover the wife decided to run the Drier...
Never mind the Wet Bow that you had to Limbo around to get to the Drier!

Thank You Dear.

Everything else is ready to go.
Once it dries enough to sand off the @&$€*~! Drier Lint...

It will most likely go out Monday.
Arrrrrrrg!

Hey,  I am traveling up to northern MN until Tuesday for anyone that might be shipping a bow my way.  I did ask a friend to stop by and look for packages and to let me know if something arrives.   Just thought I'd let you know. ;)

Talked with Brock last night and he sent me a pic to update his progress. He's finishing his soon and will ship soon too.
