Ipe & Ash back, Cypress, old Lemonwood reworked. I had to get this batch shipped out today. Santa's workshop behind. Have 4 more in the finishing stages to post later.
The cypress was for a friend in Ga. His Son Corbin killed and dryed a bunch of snake skin's for the bow and some arrows.
The other bows are for the grandkids.
I got to thank, Bubby, Mullet and Parnell all for their help, and all of you for the great info you share here.

great work, nice!!

I haven't seen them with the skins yet but I do know the pictures do not do them justice. They shoot and look very good. Those youngun's are going to be real happy on Christmas morning.
-
thanks everyone, I'm enjoying this more than any other hobbie, and I have a few.
Thanks Steve, I had some good teacher's ;) and Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Eddie, I only put the skin's on the Ash and one hickory, and haven't finished or shot any photos yet. I still have all next week before the 3 grandkids will be here. The three above had to be mailed out and I sure hated to send that Ipe, she shot so fast and smooth.
Thanks Eddie for helping check the tiller and give them a test shoot-in :D
Sorry I didn't get pic of the money shot on two of the bows, but they had to ship and no time.
I'll get some on the next three.
Merry Christmas all.

For a while there I thought you were the 1 in the pictures hahahaha ;D

Soy, LOL, I wish I was that young again. Thats Corbin who I made the cypress for, or traded for the skins. Sorry bud, I'm still finishing 3 for the other grandkids and one for Santa ;)
Merry Christmas to all
