Well hopefully this works here as well.
This is a bow i recently finished for Greg as my end of our trade. I jave always wanted one of Badly Bents awesome scalloped bows and i asked him if he wanted to trade last year at the classic. We agreed and this is what i made for Greg. I dont remember the exact length but i think it is 58 ntn and pulls 52@26. Just a nice clean piece of osage with some skins i got from charles in tx about three years ago. The tips are cocobola and the grip is skivved leather. There is a small shelf because thats how i like em even though greg is kne of you weird knucklers. Lol.
Sorry the pics arent as good as they used to be but my new phone sucks. Maybe greg can post some better ones but i think hes busy. Thanks greg. Good trade!

That is a beauty. Great work Dave. Greg you better treat her right or I'll have to take care of her. ;D
-
That's a great looking bow. I love the money shot to.
-
VERY NICE!
-
Oh yeah its a beauty, thanks again Dave I love it. Got it yesterday and its sitting on the dining room table so I can look at it every time I pass by. Killing me that I can't shoot it till the weekend but I've strung her up and taken her to full draw and like what I feel. Got my broken camera replaced and I think I can get some better pics. Will be the weekend before I am able to do that though, I want to take them outside because it would be the only proper way to show off this serious hunting weapon.

Thanks guys! Already planning on a sister for myself just 10 lbs heavier.

Finally had the time to put some arrows through this baby today and wanted to report that she shoots as nice and smooth as she looks. Sent a whole bunch of arrows into the backyard target this afternoon and it sure does bury 'em deep, a hunting weapon for sure. The draw weight is just perfect for me as well, love it.
I think Dave should enter this one for BOM and I hope he does. I took a few more pics. today because I know he was having issues with his camera phone. Hope I captured some of the beauty in his work.
Last pic is me giving the bow the thumbs up after putting the first 60 arrows thru her and unstringing.
I would have given it two thumbs but I only had one hand free and didn't want to put the bow down. :)
I restrung it after that pic. and shot quite a few more arrows.
-
few more;

Very cool bow, sounds like it passed the test with flying colors

That is really nice...The handle looks so comfy, beautiful work...
