Handle is hemp stiched leather and the same leather makes the rest and strikeplate. Eight strand ultracam string with otter fur silencers. 58 ntn and 57@27. Made for hunting. Made for Pearlie. Thanks for looking and thanks Chris too.

Thanks Will. You definitly saw em. :D so did Pearlie. He doesn't want to look yet so he has to be tormented by just watchin this post without lookin. Haha
Clint I give you credit still for this leather. I never would have used it if you hadn't used it first! I'm glad I let you guinea pig it for me. Thanks bud.
-
Very nice looking bow!!
-
Man Dave that is a flat out awesome bow, maybe my favorite from you so far and I've like all of em' you've posted.
That squiggly little bit o snakey character in the limbs is nice and the skins, tips, handle and finish are top notch work.
Chris is gonna have a big ole smile when he lays his eyes on that.
Oh, and sweet bend as well!
-
Dave, this bow is outstanding...I don't know how it could get any better than that. Great detail.

I'm sending pearly a text telling him he ain't missing nothing not being able to look and its a piece of junk >:D :laugh:
I'm sure he'll love it...that's just his style of bow ;)
-
Wow that thing is awesome, is the white along the skin due to the thickness of the hide? I really like the looks of the skins with the white knocks great contrast and perfect tiller. The side profile is a thing of beauty.

Sweet work DVS. I like your bows!
-
Nice bow...that lucky dog.
-
Wow, thanks for all the compliments guys. I do know that Pearlie is going crazy watching all the replies and not sneaking a peek. >:D nothin like a little torture right.
The white along the skins is just a highlight I added to smooth the transition of wood to skin. Its simple metalic marker under the finish
-
LOL I've been messing with Pearly through cell text tonight:)
-
You aren't the only one Roy.

I'm hoping to get her off in the mail after work today. Although I could wait another day.
-
Wowzer! That's a beaut!!!

That is a beautiful bow DVS. Thanks for sharing. Missed you guys at Mojam this year.
-
Awesome bow, just beautiful!

Hey Dave....take your time getting to the post office...like next month...lol...and in the mean time will keep this thread up top to keep torturing pearly >:D
-
Just send it to me and I'll shoot it, then I'll send it to Blackhawk and he can shoot it and etc:) LOL
-
Then he can send it to me ,I will keep it save till next spring when I see Pearly !
Good job !!!!
-
I got my bow from Pearlie today. Also put his in the tube and sealed it. I really thought about sending an empty tube first tomorrow and then sending the bow Monday when I get back. >:D
-
Pearls a lucky guy 8)
-
OH Dave ya gotta do that, LMAO:)
-
You should grab a broken bow and put it in a thin tube and bend the tube a little where the bow is broken and send that to him. I'd love to see the look on his face when he finds that on his porch.
-
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:!
-
I want this bow, I know I shouldn't covet another mans bow but I cant help myself sometimes.
-
Can't wait until I can build em like that and send em to someone who will treasure em. Pearly is going to flat out lay down and cry like a new born baby when he opens that package. Joy Comes In The Morning.
-
Wow, that is an amazing bow....all the little details that make it perfect, beyond nice work DVS! That last photo of the full draw is frickin cool too!
I think I might have to pay Mr. Pearlie a visit after he gets that one! ;D
-
That bow is AWESOME!!!!!! Nice job!
-
Nice job Dave! Beautiful bow.

You guys where all right, cept you Roybert, your always wrong.
The bow looks and shoots awesome my friend. Well worth the time we took to make the big exchange! I love the length. I love the tips and I love the braced profile. Hopefully Im not staring at it when a target strolls by! I wont bother with pics, yours are doing damn fine on their own (I wont tell them your trick). Your a true craftsman Dave, I'll treasure this bow.........and hunt the hell outta' her! Sad part? Notta one of my own bows is hunting this year! This was an awesome swap and the way we paralleled each other incidently was crazy, good fun!
THANK YOU MY FRIEND!!
-
Its about time you checked out this post. Great job on the bows Pearly and Dave.
-
Nice job DVS! As much as I like to bust PD's chops he is a worthy recipient of a fine bow like this.
-
That is a beauty Sir! (The sir is out of respect, not a deference to age ;)) Nicely done! Josh
-
Thanks guys.
Lol Josh sir even sounds funny when its typed. :laugh:
