Several months ago I worked out a bow trade with half eye. I recieved a great bow from Rich posted here. http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/index.php/topic,58185.msg805176.html#msg805176 I finally got my part of the trade done. Osage 55" tip to tip 54# @ 25". Backed with flat head catfish skins. Cow horn tips. Handle wrap is inner willow bark. Hope it gets Rich's approval.

That's a dandy of a bow.Good pic of the full draw.Resting profile says it all.I have flat head catfish skins I hav'nt used yet.Knew they would look great.When I processed mine for drying they started out a bit oily.Natural I guess.I had to use lacquer thinner to get them good and cork dry after they were dried.

Glad I didn't miss this one. The tiller looks great and I love the fixin's. ;)

Well done! Anyone would be proud to own that bow. I really dig the catfish skins, it matches the osage quite well. I also really like your handle, both the wrap and the asymmetrical fades.

This is a lovely bow to be sure! the fulldraw pix just charm anybody that likes a short bow!
...by-the-way, Rich wanted me to tell you that he has a new address for his mail! Yeah, yeah, it's oddly very similar to my street address here. So, you'll want to get that updated right away, yeah, that's the ticket!

Must be a nerve racking honour to make a bow for a bowyer like halfeye. But you have done the business there man. Great job! 😎
