That is a beautiful bow in every way Bill. I really like the feathers but that whole bow looks sweet. I like those numbers to. Beautiful bends. Maybe it'll make the trip to Marshall?

Sure Clint I'll have it when I come to your place in a few weeks. You can shoot it all you want.

Soon as hunting season gets over or I fill a tag or 2 I gotta get a couple of those hackberry staves trimmed down.Got some winged elm too from JW that should make this design nicely too.
Now is your bow considered a backed bow now or a self bow?I should look at the rules I guess.I thought only rawhide makes it into a backed bow.

Thanks guys.......
Badger ... she does fling an arrow pretty good.  High string tension and the draw seams to be the same ,no stack, from 15" to 25".

Morgan...an alcohol based walnut, I use it most of the time and change or fade the color using a paper towel soaked in alcohol.

Don...no don't know any Burchett's.  If your ever in the Louisville area look me up.

Pearl...you know it. :) ;)

Ed... Backed or self?  Been wondering that myself.  I see a good aruguement for both with my experience.  You know feathers are very light and fragile sort like snake skins and 5-6 coats of true oil.   But it really doesn't mater to me.  I'll leave it up to the experts.  I'm open for discussion on the issue on this thread.
Thanks again Guys!!!

I promise I won't overdraw it either Bill. I've wondered the same thing Ed. I'm not sure if it should be backed or unbacked but it sure should be entered in the BOM. Really beautiful bow Bill I really like the profiles and the feathers look great to.
