Post by: Danzn Bar on December 22, 2014, 08:49:43 pm: Really.....really appreciate all the comments...
I would have like to thank everyone individually but I'm overwhelmed with so many responses...
Thanks again,

Jawge, Thanks appreciate your comment because I know how many bows you have seen in your days/experience and being a teacher your comments are respected.

Sasquatch & xpertbushman....... Wild Turkey feathers

Ryan, I like the oak too, thought it would look good as the osage aged, and be able to compare to the black horn on His in the future..

Can't wait to get started on the next bow.....
Till next time,
DBar

This pair is just one more example of your skill and craftsmanship Bill! Hope your daughter and son in law make it to a shoot so I can see their new bows! Great job Bill!

Post by: Peacebow_Coos on January 04, 2015, 03:01:39 pm: Wow that feather backing sure is pretty especially against yellow wood! Lucky kids you have man, gotta build 'em the same though or someone will say, "But why does theirs have ____ and mine doesn't?" j/p my kids are still young so... Beautiful bows man.
Title: Re: Final Pics of His & Hers
Post by: Swampman on January 04, 2015, 04:52:06 pm: WOW!!!! Those bows are beautiful. Very nice work.
Title: Re: Final Pics of His & Hers
Post by: Danzn Bar on January 10, 2015, 08:03:14 pm: Thanks,
Jesse, Tracy, Peacebow and Swampman......
My son in law and I when out today and shot a few 3D targets with "His" bow. First shot at the turkey ...."head shot" ....dead bird! Right where he was aiming .. ::) :) ;).

We had a good time even though we started out in 18 deg weather. The bows backing took the cold weather real well. I feel real good about the "Flex Coat" finish as long as you don't use a softer material to set the feathers in. I will defiantly do this backing more often.

Again thanks guys for your comments...........
