Title: Tribute bow
Post by: Shaun on November 15, 2011, 04:47:14 pm
RIP Scott Ray Henry (Blue Lightning)

Scott left the Red Road and started on the Star Path of his ancestors on 11/08/11. There were four nights of sweat lodge - Birth, Life, Death and Rebirth. During the first sweat I saw the image of this bow and made it on 11/10&11. On the 11th at sunset it sent a shaft to a fine buck. Scott was a childlike open heart man with hundreds of friends attending his funeral on the 13th. His smile was full compass.

58" NTN 65# @ 28" Osage with walnut footing, handle deerskin wrap, acrylic paint, shellac.

Shaun...good to see you're still at it, making beautiful bows and harvesting awesome animals. Seems to me I have one of those Shaun Webb osage beauties with a heat treated belly in my bow rack. Believe I mentioned it in an article I did about a year ago on special bows in my collection.  ;)

Congrats and sorry for the loss of your friend.

That is a great looking bow and the full circle of vision, build and hunt is a beautiful tribute to his memory.
