And guts - ster is gonna finish it after I cut the bow outline out. I glued on the riser tonight.. </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px"> </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">Just might add a little surprise to it for him
</P>
Yeah Keenan us little rednecks only draw 24.5...LOL...the last boo bow Roy glued up for me ended up 55 1/2 inches..talk about a tree bow or brush bow..turned out nice..I got a maple backed cedar I glued up two nights ago comes off the form tonight.. I used 4 inch block at handle 2 7/8 mid limb and 6 1/2 at the tips..glue a handle on tommorrow gotta finish a stone knife for Mr. Roy..Got the handle built last night and glued up the bone end cap , glued in the blade this morning and will clean her up tonight and pitch her then haft it up with some gut...gonna tru oil a finish ..red cedar handle with a whitish grey novaculite blade...gonna be a looker and she is very sharp..ran my finger down the blade and split that sucker wide open..now I got a drying check in my thumb and I gotta pick my nose with my left hand...LOL...gut<br>
<P style="MARGIN: 0px">Cool beans Boy..</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px"> </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">I always wanted to get some southern redneck blood on me knife
</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px"> </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">Your bow gets cut out tonight bro, it's been given me ah woodie just looken at her
</P>
<P>Ah shucks gut, while I was cutten her out tonight I slipped and the bandsaw blade cut her right in half. Sorry bro.....</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0px"> You all sound like my kinda people. Even though I've grown up in Oregon I was born in Texas.So it seems I have a fiar amount of cajun blood in me. I have to stretch just to get a 25" draw. And I'm having a heck of a time trying to hit a 28" draw on this ambush bow I just made!. </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px"> If I turn my arm and push away behind my head I might make the draw requirement but dodging the string as it comes by my head is a real trick.LOL</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px"> Here is a sneak peak at the brush bow. 58" NTN and about 62 at 28". Tight ringed Yew, 56 rings per inch. D/R Shot her yesturday and was VERRRRY pleased.She's a smoker and no hand shock!</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px"><IMG alt="" hspace=0 src="http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c326/bornagainprimitve/IMG_0007.jpg" align=baseline border=0></P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px"><IMG alt="" hspace=0 src="http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c326/bornagainprimitve/IMG_0040.jpg" align=baseline border=0></P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px"><IMG alt="" hspace=0 src="http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c326/bornagainprimitve/IMG_0018.jpg" align=baseline border=0></P>
Keenan you make some of the purdiest bows I have seen. Your craftsmanship is something to behold ...Awesome stuff ..Roy I was putting on a finish last night and dropped that knife on the floor...probably about the same time you buzzed my bow,, guess it is poetic justice, you ain't gettin no rebel blood on my blade old man.....LOL...gut<br>
<P style="MARGIN: 0px"> thanks Gut, I'm looking forward to seeing some pics of that knife. Sounds awesome! Keenan</P>
