I can tell by the look on his face that he's really disappointed with his new bow.  ::)  ;)

I love the progression of pics: unbraced (smile), braced (smile), full draw (dead serious)!

Great bow Bryce, gotta love that VM, and it wears the Sturgeon well.  What did you dye it with?

Love the color and the sturgeon patches. Amazing how even a small piece of that sturgeon skin can really dress up a bow.
I'm with you on the vine maple Bricey. Just picked up a couple pieces myself on my last camping trip and plan on it again this weekend.

Great job on that one Bryce ! A piece of vine maple has to be pretty horrible to not make a bow! You took a petty funky one there and turned it into a beauty! Again good work as usual!

Thank you Matt:) vine maple like any wood will loose alot of moisture right away but begin to slow down after awhile.

Thanks tall pine, good ole iPhone :)

Thanks weylin, he seems to like the ugly thing :)

Thank you Orion :) I replied to you PM

Thanks Gabe! It's a light brown leather dye.

Randman, there ain't nothing quite like I good piece of Vinemaple. I think I'm more confident in this wood than any other. It refuses to give anything up.

Thanks dmenz. She is funky but that's what makes her beautiful :)

Nice job, Bryce. Sweet gesture and one happy recipient!!

very nice! Like the character in it and the colors of the wood. Didn't know vine maple is that colorful. Too bad it isn't growing here in Germany!

Your buddy's smile say all! Well done!
