That is gonna be a cool bow when you finish it, Clint.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Coming along nicely Clint. I saw it up close at the classic fellas thats a beauty of a piece of character osage Clints working.

Shot Paul's trade yesterday as mentioned and that sucker has some flat shooting cast to it, when he gets it all dolled up its gonna be pretty too.

Found a flaw in mine and I may be starting a new one now, glad there is 2 more months to deliver. Got a small ring de-lam raising up on the belly about 10" up from bottom tip. Could very well be repairable with glue and clamping but not sure I want
to pass along a bow with this flaw. I need to tear into another stave and see if I come up with a better bow.
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.

Hey guys, here is my plan B bow, which will be the bow I send out.
Plan A was too short for the guy I ended up with.
I went with a design I'm familiar with, on a very nice piece of yew.
I'd like to shoot it a little more before I send it out, but time has been short lately  ;)
Bottom limb had a little bit more deflex than the top, but I decided to not use  heat on the belly.
It was a well seasoned piece of wood, and seemed to take very little set.
I hope my guy likes it, it's a nice shooting bow, and is right at his requested draw length and weight.
My guy makes amazing bows, so even if this bow sees little action, it'll still look good hanging on the wall!  ;D
Skins are from RyanC, bighorn sheep tips and a fat boy hemp grip.
I'm drawing a little short in the FD, but not by much.
cheers guys

My bow is done. Nothing fancy - just a simple vine maple selfbow with some character. I hope my guy likes it. I will send it out next week.

Goat and Gordon, gorgeous bows guys. I need to try that vine maple stuff one day.
