Great job on your bow Gordon! Definitely another eye catcher, I'd bet Manny will be pleased with your work on some of his guava. :)

. I'd say guava is very much like a fine lady - not exactly prim and proper, a little on the wild side, kinda high maintanence, and an absolute pleasure to look at and handle  ;D


I like that one Gordon  ;D 

....great final product, not that we can expect anything less from you ;) 


I was really looking forward to hear your assestment of the wood, the opinion from a bowyer of your caliber is very important, glad you liked the wood.


.........gotta love those staves where the spolted wood flows around like that  :)

Beauty! The color and character of guava really is something... stained, or natural.

Just remember, you can't put the wood back on.

Thank you RT.

Thank you for the compliment Pappy.

Thank you Dana, the wood is beautiful indeed when it is finished.

Thank you Ryan. I think Manny liked it.

Thank you Dano.

Thank you Manny. Your beautiful bows provided the inspiration for this effort.

Thank you for the nice words Bear.

Thank you JustAim.

Thank you Paul, I appreciate the compliment.

Thank you Hawk. I imagine this bow would hunt just fine, though I'll probably use it more for 3D shoots.

Thank you adb.

Thanks Jesse, I like how the dye turned out.
