SWEET!!!  I really like it's look with those mink cuffs...  The black makes the snakeskin pattern really stand out.

Looks like I will be finishing my trade bow at OJAM. Some of you may get to see it. How's everyone else doing?

Good deal John!

Mine,  is as of right now a do-over. I think I'm going to pull down a a few different staves and see which one speaks to me. And do what I normally do, build a bow out of what the stave wants me to make.

II just finished up a black locust today that I would have normally thrown in the burn pile. It was a fun build and kinda got me wanting to just "free wheel"  some bowes until I find a stave to make a specific bow.

Astoundingly, my plan A bow is still holding on!!!  I nearly never have such luck, ...but B and C string bow blanks are waiting in the wings 'ready' to step in.  I'll likely be OJAMing mine too at least some.

This guy is pushing 100#@28. My scale stops at 80 and it reads 80@25. So I am close. Its sap wood back and unstrung is flat. Sap back with round belly. Lower limb is a touch weak I may pike it an inch to get it stiffer. Not sure if my guy is getting this or a super short bow. Like 50" long as a tree and brush bow.
