Muskyman:
Fine looking bow Pat, love the handle. Wish I could have made it to the classic. Maybe next year.

I’d love some pat. If you’ve got a little to spare that would be awesome. Let me know and dm me at your convenience
Cheers. Dave
Mad Max:
Nice Pat ;) I got one too ;D
wooddamon1:
Very cool, Pat!
Pat B:
Here she is, guys. 68" t/t, 66"n/n, 1 3/8" at the fades with a straight taper to the 3/8" tips. James has added a dye job to the back but it started rubbing off as I was tillering so I rubbed down the back with 0000 steel wool which gave it an interesting patina so I left it like that. She's got 6 coats of Tru-Oil with a steel wool rubdown after each coat and a spray of satin pole to cut the shine. The tip overlays are osage, the handle wrap is rattan chair caning with a red leather floppy rest.
I've put about 50 arrows through her and she shoots well but with a bit of thump. After looking at the full draw pic I can see the outer 1/3 of each limb is stiff which could be the cause. She pulls 44# @26".
