Ill sprinkle some finish on it over the week and post it next weekend, think Im going gripless on this one.

Thanks for the comments fella's, Ill explain better why I did what I did with this one when I post it finished.

Looking good. I recall reading a thread with you saying how you switched bows during hunting season. I am guessing this design has something to do with that?

Nice looking bow as always Pearl, I was wondering how long the cut is, from the arrow shelf up to where it exits the edge of the bow.  Thanks!

The handle is 4" long and the fades are 3" each. The cut out you mention is the same length as the fade, its a big sight window compared to what Im used to seeing.

I like the difference in coloration of the osage. How does osage darken over time? I assume eventually the lighter wood would darken to be the same color as the older? Maybe not be in my lifetime though?

Either way it looks nice!

I like it!  Will H's trade bow sent to me has pistol grip on it. It is starting to grow on me.

Hahahahaha.....good one Bryce boy... :laugh: n you may be right.....he's been losing that battle for over two years now...I'm about to give up trying to help him  :-X  :laugh: I can give him one of my bows to shoot and he has no issues yanking it back,but put one of his own "babies" in his hands and he doesn't have the heart to bend her over and spank her  :laugh:


Uh oh...someone just let the cat out of the bag and is in trouble :(
