Title: New BBO
Post by: Okie on August 26, 2009, 09:51:34 pm

While shooting at my dads a couple weeks ago my brother in-law got pretty interested in shooting and after a few shots said " I gotta have one of these". He told my sister that he really wanted one for his birthday, which is Sept. 5th :o . I told him there was no way I could have a bow finished in that amount of time. The next day my sister called and we discussed what he wanted and I told her I'd have it done in time :-\. I talked to him last weekend and told him I was about to get started on his bow and his mouth dropped to the floor. He said " I thought you were kidding about not getting it done by my B-day. I told him I had too many orders in front of him and just couldn't do it. Anyway I will be giving it to him next Saturday... for his B-day. :D
 Here it is...
64"-44# @ 28". Its Osage and Paduak, finished with 2 coats of teak oil and 3 coats of poly. The handle is deer hide.

Thanks for the comments everyone. I'll be sure and tell him happy b-day for ya'll. Maybe I can get him on the site. He's pretty new to all this, so this would be a great place for him to learn from.
Thanks again.
