    First topic message reminder :

    hi folks!

    Either my search skills are lousy, or, I did not see the photos on this forum.
    However, I am looking for photos of a crossbow bolt presentation bow.
    I would like to try to make one (or more...)
    But, frustratingly, I cannot find the photos any more.
    Can anyone point me to such photos? 

    Thanks!

    Best!

    Jmc, this is marvelous; again, thank you!

    I have been wanting to make one for some time now, and, I am pleased to say, I just met a wood worker neighbor, not half a mile down my country lane, here in central Texas. I have been helping his grandson learn how to build a crossbow, and in turn, he is going to teach me a little bit of box making. 
    With these photos, his help, and a great book that Geezer bought, I think I am well on my way.

    Thanks!
