[Andy Cooper]

Wow!   :eek:   I may have missed it...what's the draw weight?

[DW]

As good as it gets! That bow is Beautiful

[Pete Arthur]

Wow. Nice work guys. Beautiful points too. I need to go home and pickup my Osage- "Smokey" and put a few arrow through it!

[Osagetree]

Nice!

[glenbo]

Real nice Curt.Excellent job building your first bow.I believe that was phase one of your quest.I cant wait to see the outcome of phase two .One month to go !. This winter would be a great time to mangle some osage staves.I meant wrangle.

Thanx for the kind words fellas..I'm pretty proud of my first, but I never could/would have done it with a lot of help from Glen(Glenbo)

Thanx again buddy        

I finished "Stinker" yesterday and shot it some this evening...

"Coon tail"...

Not the best leather work, but it's my first grip...

Last shot of the night...

Where it rests....for now...

It shoots really well and is extremely quiet...no doubt if given the chance, If I do my part, "Stinker" will do just fine!

Up next...some snake skin arrows with "Knife river" stones points, and Doug Campbell danascus trades    

[Eugene Slagle]

Man that is a great looking bow there bud, one day I'll learn to do this but till then I'll have to drool over the beautiful works of art like you have made.

[glenbo]

I am sure Curt that thes will be the first of many.It is a pleasure to share what knowledge I have aquired from my mistakes to another.Also nice to work with someone who is comfortable and competent in the workshop,with an eye for detail.G

[Stiks-n-Strings]

Curt, That is a sweet stinkin' bow LOL.

Awsome skins and I love how you worked the tails into the tips.

I used deft on my last bow although I did do tru oil over the skins the used the deft satin to dull her down some. It's great finish for sure and all I have used for years on other wood projects.

Well done my friend.

[Osagetree]

Is season in yet? I can't wait!!

Better get on them arrows Curt!
