My three brother-in-laws each received a little "persuasion present" for Christmas...

(Bow is canted a bit, that's why the tiller appears slightly out of whack. Sorry.)

The one on the right is the bow I posted in the "Osage Flatbow" thread. Can't wait to get 'em all shooting. At least I'll have some company at the range!
Now your brother in laws are lucky. You did a great job on those bows. I have always thought gift that were made were special. Great jog.
hrm...
i wonder if i can get my sister to marry somebody who makes things i need...
nice oakies. i've gotta try some with such wide limbs one of these days.
those are great bows!!
but hey, work on your fades... please!! :)
Nick
Thanks, Nick. You really don't like those fades, do you? :biglaugh: I keep 'em cause they're super easy (1/2 hour bow!), and they build in the elliptical tiller that makes a pyramid bow perform better. I'll save the pretty stuff to my selfbows. :biglaugh:
Those are great looking bows Im sure they were tickled to death to get them. Great work.
