"Warts and All"

[David Flanrey]

That is a great looking bow Pat!  Your bows always inspire me to try those staves that usually I cull.  Excellent craftsmanship!

[Osagetree]

Very, very interesting! I have not seen warts on my osage.
Do ya think the limbs were ill and didn't form??

What's up with those little burls?

[red hill]

Sharp bow, Pat!

[Pat B]

Joe, they are clusters of pins.

Nice looking bow, Pat.   I just roughed out an osage with some clusters of pin nots, but they did'nt "wart up" like those.  Cool...

[Pat B]

I've seen pin clusters like this before, Mark and Joe, but always pryed them off. This time I decided to work with them.

Outstanding ....as always!!              

[stringstretcher]

Well this bow will never see the rain then, cause how would I know the difference???...lol

[red hill]

I thought it was a TOAD that caused warts. Just think, I've avoided toads for all these years!

Nice work Bud.  Great looking bow.

Well here she is all finished up except for a bit more shooting. She pulls 47#@26"(tillered out to 28") and shoots well except for a little hand shock. I think this is because one side of the bow is a little stiffer because of the "warts".
 Anyway, here she is. I hope she works well for you Charlie. I'll get full draw pic up later...

That's pretty cool pat. Nice character.

[Grovian]

just amazing what can be done. That looks so nice and just WOW

[stringstretcher]

So very nice Pat.  I am truly blessed and honored to be getting this bow that you made.  I have admired your work and ability to make a piece of wood come alive for many years now.  And I could not be more pleased.  Thank you so very much my friend.
