Greg, your bows never disappoint, both of these are super, but Lumpy is still my favorite. Nice work.

Those are some really beautiful bows. Great job! Thanks for sharing.  

Sweet!  Both are great, but I especially like the snake skinned osage.

Great lookin' bows, Greg.
What do you  mean wrong-handed, Shawn? LOL
Those are perfect.

beautiful bows what finish did you use on them?

Great bows, really like the hickory/ipe bow.

Thanks for posting them, those are sweet.

Thanks for the finish tips too!

Wish I could knew how to type the sound of a whistle....  Absolutly beautiful bows!!!!! great job

i like your work. the finish looks fantastic. rv

I love them. I want to do a belly lam and a backing for my first failed bow. It was a hickory and it failed in a way the back came off. I was think osage belly and back or even sinew back. You have inspired me to at least give her a try.

Those are Great Lookers!!   :cool:    Can I ask just How Many Coats of Tru Oil is on the Back to get that Awsome Warm Shine??   :rolleyes:          Great Job!!  

Thanks guys,
Shakes, I rubbed on enough finish to fill the grain, then wet sanded with 1000 grit. After that I rubbed on the final coat and called it good. There's probably 8 coats total.
I got home last night from a hunting trip. The osage/sinew claimed all the ruffed grouse we could eat.

Thats some pretty good shootin Greg. Never had grouse, do they taste as good as quail?

I've never tried quail. To me ruffed grouse tastes like cornish game hens, very mild and delicate. Blue grouse are a different matter. They are a very strong flavored dark meat bird, kind of like eating a duck. I wont shoot blue grouse unless they are young ones.

wow, the rest is on the right side,.. lefty here also. awesome bows, great work indeed..
