Howdy folks,
New guy here. :)
Here's a picture of the bow I made while at the Tennessee Classic. Thanks go out to Greg, Anthony, Pappy, and Ryan for making my dream come true.
The stave was from Gary Davis and comes from Ohio and was cut in 2002, upper and lower are twin sisters. Its 66" ntn 1 3/4" wide at the fades, and straight tapers to 3/8" nocks. It pulls around 54# @ 26 ½" It’s backed with rattle snake skins from Tennessee, which a friend gave me years ago. It has a leather grip from an old purse my wife provided free of charge, and buffalo horn tips are thanks to Pappy.
Take care,
John

John is giving us to much credit on that one...he did 95% of it himself. I think this was his 3rd Tn. Classic, and he made a really nice bow last year also. This one really did turn out especially nice! :)
