Beautiful work Bill, I love that iridescent look the feathers give in the sunlight. Another fine bow

Thanks for the build-a-long, great craftsmanship. Got a pheasant skinned and dried waiting to back a bow soon as I finish my new shop. John

Man I've wondered how you do that!  Looks like a lot of work, but it sure does look awesome.  Great looking bow.

Really like the looks but isn't that a serious amount of extra weight??

I don't think so.....no more... probably less than rawhide.  You might want to ask Badly Bent, he shot it a lot this weekend at Elm Hall. :);)

Does that mean he took it home with him Bill? I would have loved to see Greg recieve it. I really was hoping to see this one at Elm Hall, but I had to leave before you got there. Hopefully it will make it to Marshall. Wish I could have had more time at Elm Hall, but I sure enjoyed the time I had.

Hey BJ,
I think Kim and I just missed you Thursday.  We showed up around 3PM.
Yep Greg took it home. I've been wanting to do this ever since he gave me a Badly Bent Bow at the TN Classic about three years ago.

I pulled out about 10:30 am. I hope Kim enjoyed it. Greg really deserves it and I'm sure he appreciated it to. There where two Dbar bows going home in his truck. :)
