That way, you can get A4 frames and dismantle a copy for pictures in your man cave. Don’t forget to get a copy to keep intact as well! PREVIOUS PAGE The most beautiful mirror-finish polished antler frame. Perfect symmetry, impeccably fitted bullet cases and that bead is exquisite. John Jeffries is the gifted maker, a damn fine shot and way too talented for his age. Shot in Oxlip Wood. https:// www.outdoortribe.co.uk/ Thirty Roe antlers were collected by a forester and given to John Jeffries. Of these, two only were equal enough to offer a perfect fork. Only one had the coronet at a flat angle, rather than 45 degrees to the shaft. These two were combined into one virtuoso frame of such perfection that experts and newbies alike will marvel at its beauty. Black & gold bead, end cap and dividing section. This is pure art and is mostly for show but has been shot with and will be again. After ‘sanding through the grits’, the last polishing agent John used, was an old fashioned five pound note! T he sin of covetousness is what marketeers are always trying to spark off in your soul. Their favourite word is ‘desirable’. And oh my are these catapults desirable! On these pages we simply marvel at both the delicious deadly useful beauty of these frames and also the sheer loveliness of the settings they have been so lovingly photographed in. Yes, they may mostly have been snapped upon a telephone, but we got hold of the original huge data files for each shot and simply give them to you now… enjoy! Martin ‘Whippett’ as he is known by, better than his actual surname, may be the most gifted UK maker at creating varied style frames to a breath taking standard. Jason Morgan took this, of his beloved ‘Recurve’. Martin’s latest at time of writing. SSW001 CatsasArt.indd 58 18/07/2018 21:29
