....only as long as it is on your bow, right???
Mechslasher:
i'm surprised it took so long to call that, at least you put the tail end of the quote. the bow i posted was a replica of a very old design which called for osage and walnut. i've admired bear/grumley bows ever since i started shooting traditional eight or nine years ago and i thought it would be an interesting challenge to try and replicate the design. i'm not leaving myself exempt by no means of admiring something flashy, just as i said earlier. the point i was trying to make is that if someone posted a simple woodlands bow with a bear fat and beeswax finish it would be lucky to capture a vote. i guess what i'm worried about is this site turning into something like the LW. i love this site and i would hate to see it lose it's purpose.

No worries, some of us will continue to make them without Christmas wrap. I don't have anything against people decorating their bows. I for one build them for myself with no regard for the contest. If I feel like decorating I will, If I want a plain Jane bow, that is what it will be. I just hope some people don't get so worried about winning the BOM contest that they quit building for the right reasons, because we love wood bows. Justin
