Gee whiz. That really is a nice looking bow. You should be proud of the work you do. Very nice.

[COWBOYSURVIVAL]

Very Nice Indeed! I can see you are a patient man! It shows in your work that obviously isn't rushed!

[canid]

i try, but to be honest, i tend to get most of the work done in spurts, when i'm in that zone, and try not to touch my work when i'm not.

i always end up with small flaws, usually cosmetic. you can see one of them in the arrow pass: the saw tooth marks which i couldn't quite sand out. if i fixate on them, i try to push too hard and invariably become sloppy. you might say i've learned instead to live with imperfection.

they say we are our own worst critics.

HUH? You obviously see something I don't.

[crashdive123]

It's a beauty. Nice work.

[Rick]

That's true of most folks, Canid. I used to do quite a bit of wood work and still do some from time to time. I can see every imperfection I've ever made and you might as well put a billboard next to. It's that glaring to me. But no one else seems to see them unless I point them out. So......I learned early on not to point them out.

[FVR]

That's just nice. You sure can make a bow.

[canid]

thank you all for your kind, or over-kind words.

i can't seem to find the fine burnished leather i had laying around. i was planning to use it on the arrow pass/shelf.

i am in the proccess of twisting up the string, and i have some coyote fur for silencers. i also need to find my serving thread.

[canid]

final tiller adjustment is still breaking in. i'll begin shooting this in tomorrow:

there will be some more pics, when i have the final touches, and i have pics of my fishing line string twist up i'll be posting aswell. these are extremely durable strings, made from dacron/nylon braid line of 80lb test. this string is 6 strand, twined. the silencers are coyote.

[crashdive123]

Definitely a work of art. Nicely done.
