Last year Pat B. drew Lulyn's name for the Christmas gift exchange. He had worked hard on a bow for her but do to time crunches decided to send her an incredible basket quiver instead. Though she was overjoyed with the quiver, Pat had decided to send the bow as well. He had it fairly well done and just asked me to finsh the dress up.Though it took me till Christmas to get her all dolled up, I did manage to get it done in time to give it to her hor christmas.
So here She is. 60" NTN and right around 40 lbs at her 25" Osage with Chicken snake skins and horn tips as well as a small bird point accent. I'll get the full draw shot from her when the rain quits ::)

Beautiful bow. I love the way you sometimes taper your skins near the tips. Very clean looking. Thanks for sharing.

Well that looks delicious!!! :D

That's an amazing looking bow.
I always find myself in a hypnotic trance staring at the tip work (could go on for awhile, same picture). ???

Boy I sure am glad I gave that to you to finish up, Keenan. A beautiful bow for a beautiful lady. 8)
Can't wait to see full draw. Can't wait to see her in person at the Classic next spring if y'all can make it.

Thank you Pat but you did all the real work. She is very pleased. We went camping up in the mountains the last two days and it rained the whole time. She has to work tomarrow but we will try to get those full draw pics ASAP. Wait till you see the two gifts together ;D

beautiful bow ,nice work

Well, from you and Pat I would expect beautiful bow work and yep, there it is. And few
have better hands than Pat as the quiver plainly shows. But Keenan, the golden glow for you
is that your wife, your soulmate, your life partner ( Lulyn, as you call her) understands and appreciates
the gifts. And will use them.
Very, very cool my friend.

Pat thank you for adding those pics. Shows what a challenge you had to start with. I also added some pictures of the bow and quiver on page one second set of pics. I tried hard to match that beautiful quiver that you made.
