[bassmatt72]

Here is the knife my coworker made in trade for the bow. He is also making a sheath for it. The scales are some leftover riser material from my first recurve.

Nice work. I bet you made a kid happy with that one.
Built my nephew a little longbow. He has outgrown it now and it has been passed on to another nephew. Now I get to replace it and he just HAS to have a recurve like his uncle this time. Fun stuff!

Trades are always good, sometimes better than money.
At least ya get what ya want in the trade.

Great job Matthew !

Thanks guys!

That's awesome!! Looks like both of you are skilled folks in different areas. Gorgeous bow and knife. I'd say that was a pretty good trade.

Here is a happy kid! This is my coworkers son that I built the bow for. His dad said he was going to need to eat his Wheaties before he will be able to shoot it very much. I offered to try and drop some more weight but he said he could grow into it.

[huntinfool]
