My good pal Clint(osage outlaw) gifted me this stave at this years classic from the monster tree...this is the second classic in a row he has graciously given me a stave from the monster tree....thanks pal!!!! I left with a couple buddies Thursday after working all day and didn't arrive at twin oaks until about 2 in the morning....clint handed me the stave and I started cutting away at it like a busy beaver,and clint and I stayed up working on our bows until sun came up the next morning,and then continued to be awake till late late late Friday.....ahhhh the classic...who needs sleep!!! Nuttin like a bowmaking n shooting marathoner :P 8) >:D :laugh: I did have this shooting late one night,but I put it on hold to finish it up until I got back home....it had a funky deflexed handle section that turned out at a different angle and was also severely pie shaped from the split that I needed to eventually build up the handle with several pieces of thin lams to have enough meat on the back side...well...life got super busy lately and I haven't been home much or had much shop time lately to finish much of any of my projects...sorry for the delay!! but here she is finally :)
stats are 67" ntn...low 50's@28"....20 ounces mass weight....white oak lams to build the side of the handle...paduak tip overlays....teeny bit of prop twist yet as well
thanks again to clint for the fine primo stave :D :D :D

-
K..shoot me a text tomorrow morn n we'll talk it over. 8)
-
That turned out awesome. That handle build up is crazy but looks great. Nice craftsmanship. That late night in the bow shop was a blast. So was our tired and hazy target rounds the next day :P
-
Very nice. Love the handle! Always enjoy seeing your bows.
-
That a beauty man, nice work. ;)
-
I am not sure how you accomplished the glue up in that grip job, but it certainly adds character to the whole picture. Great way to save the bow! Kudos.
-
Bout time you post something up. Sweet bow Chris.
-
Very nice bow. I love the work you did on the handle, looks really cool.
-
Great looking bow. I love the way the handle looks.
-
Sweet bend Blackhawk, but I wouldn't expect anything less from you,bub
-
Those signature tips are always a crowd pleaser and the bend is awesome.
-
I remember that one now and how the handle looked before, man thats some nice work you did Chris. Like the bend as well, looks like a smooth shooting bow.
-
That is a fine looking bow Chris. I would like to try that style someday. I was so tired at the classic the first day from driving all night that I stepped off the one target from a tree stand like I was walking down a step, when it was about 3 ft. off the ground. I went rolling bow over quiver down the hill, I thought I twisted my knee real bad but worked it out pretty quick.
-
That handle patch reminded me of the Phantom of the Opera with the half face mask. Nice save with the patch and very nice bow. I remember that night at the Classic. I was probably up most of that night. ;)
-
Very, very nice.

I bet Parnell doesn't remember that night ;D
-
I remember seeing you work on that one. Handle lams look sweet!
-
I bet he doesn't either, Clint. ;D
-
Outstanding! I love the handle work and how you took advantage of the natural deflex.. Unbraced pic is my favorite.
-
He did it again! A great bow!
Weird handle work, don' t moan if I' ll copy something like that!
You know I like speed, any chronos here?
-
Beautiful bow Chris,that turned out sweet. :) That has to be a shooter. :)
Pappy
-
Nice problemsolving on that handle,i like!
-
Nice work Chris! Very unique handle.
Tracy
-
Ah yes, memories of Classics past. That shoot-around after the all nighter was a hoot! I didn't stay up all night for the bowmaking fun, but watching Clint the next morning repeatedly shoot a steel drum was hilarious!
Good looking bow Chris! That handle is snazzy!
-
Thanks to everyone for the replies and comments ... It is appreciated more than ya know :)
No chrony testing with this one Redhawk...although it shoots a wide variety of spine it seemed to really like the heavy hunting weight arrows...this is more of a good solid hunting rig than a barn burner..altho it does have pleasant cast
And to all who made classic comments... Lmao :laugh: good times!!! Gooooood times indeed!!! ;D
-
Love the paduak overlays
-
Nice work Chris, from all angles...Beautiful bend and photography as well... 8)
Don
-
Very nice bow. You did do a good job with the built up handle
-
Thing of beauty.
-
nice bow that handle looks like it grew there. well done
-
Now that's a cool worked out handle!
Great, super clean work, Chris!
-
Awesome job on that one 8)!
-
Ugly as the backside of a supermodel ;D nice work....missed ya at Elm Hall! Hope all is well w the fam!
-
That is a sweet one Chris. I finally got to see the r/d you sent Juniper Junkie in last years bow trade. This one looks like similar specs. Very nice workmanship. And full draw looks superb.
Classic sounds like a lot of fun...I have to make it out there someday.
-
Thanks again to all who commented :)
Hopefully things work out next year for elm hall drew ??? Looks like y'all had fun this year...:)
Carson I believe this stave was either a sister,belly,or cousin to the bow I sent Dave...pretty sure it was in close proximation to it...they were dang near identical...and easy to make into r/d bows with almost a naturally grown shape..this one is 100% clean and not even one lil pin knot in the whole bow...prime piece of wood for sure
-
Beauty there Chris, well done! The patch is flawless and I really like the grip/arrow shelf... Bound to be a shooter!
-
Must have warmed up in Penn !
Nice bow
Hope all is well for the fam.
-
I always love your bows but that handle glue up is too cool. Not exactley sure how you did it but it really adds a unique dimension to that one. Danny
-
Great work as always Chris.love the handle.
-
Wow great bow Hawkster. Looks like one hell of a shooter. Love it
-
wow real unique handle but looks like ya pulled it off, looks like a great shooter
-
Thanks Joe...Guy....danny...lil Stevie wonder...matt...n Zion... :)
I just glued several 1/8" thin lams so they'd bend and conform into that concave shape..had to do it in a few stages is all...easy peasy n worked like a charm :)
-
nice bow congrats,,, love the unstrung profile,,,
-
Very nice as usual the overlays really make the bow.
