And guts - ster is gonna finish it after I cut the bow outline out. I glued on the riser tonight..    Just might add a little surprise to it for him Smile

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!.  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  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! <IMG alt="" hspace=0 src="http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c326/bornagainprimitve/IMG_0007.jpg" align=baseline border=0> <IMG alt="" hspace=0 src="http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c326/bornagainprimitve/IMG_0040.jpg" align=baseline border=0> <IMG alt="" hspace=0 src="http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c326/bornagainprimitve/IMG_0018.jpg" align=baseline border=0>

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
