Even though you owe me a bow I'd happily chip in and pass on putting my tickets in the drawing hat. This community means the world to me and like everyone else I am happy to put my money where my mouth is.

Well, I owe you an apology for how sinfully ugly that bow was anyway! It could take a tree down though, you cant deny that!

Does that ugly stick still exist?

I think so. I gave to a teacher of mine years ago.

I have a bow I would donate; I made it years ago when I was lifting weights, 62#@25" and made from the best osage I have ever had my hands on, it is a real screamer with "O" string follow after all these years.

Not a pretty bow because I grabbed a narrow belly split just to see if I could make a bow out of it. It had 13 very small drying checks on the back, I filled them with super glue and they disappeared, never to be seen again. I glued a rest on one side, decided to flip the bow and glue a rest on the other side, a small remnant of the first rest is still visible.

It is the third bow down from the top on the rack.

Eric, thats absolutely awesome, I really appreciate that! Thank you! I am about to post later today about this very topic. Stay tuned!

Hey Erick I made a post for the Annual Give Away Prive Pot in Around the Camp Fire. Can you please go and post that bow there so I can keep all the donated items in one location?

I will take some more pictures and add a description. I will make sure people know this bow is already made and will not be a custom.
