Thank you Frank. I appreciate the compliment. How have you been?

John, I assume you are referring to the Eastside gathering that Keenan and Dave organize. If so, the answer is yes - I wouldn't miss it for anything!

Gotta keep coming back and look at this bow, Gordon you did such fine work, the fact that a bowyer of your caliber used Guava and liked it, and guava being my baby, I feel even better than whem I post a bow of my own ;D

Gordon-
That bow turned out fantastic!!
I love how the dark heart wood looks.
I may have to dig out the stave of guava that I have.
I better finish the three bows I already started.

Blacktail- of course I'll be there.  Looking forward to seeing some of your Dacite points.

 Bowyers gathering :D :D  Heck it's just a bunch of us big kids playing with sticks and stones and running around in loin cloths shootin at anything that moves or resembles a target :o :o

 Again nice bow Gordon but I'm fairlly sure that Dave has a secret weapon up his sleave that is going to Humnble the "over hill gang" AKA "Westside group" on the flight shoot >:D

I can see you feeling good about it Manny!
Keep coming back, too, because this bow looks like a Manny/Gordon-Hybrid to me.

I'll be in Brazil again in June/July and I might get a chance to cut me some guava...

Again really nice bow!

Thank you Joe, that is a colorful metaphor!

Thank you Dave, I'm looking forward to seeing you at the gathering.

Thank you Manny. I tried to add elements of your style to this bow and I really like how it worked out.

Keith, anyone who has an interest in primitive bows, archery, tipis, etc. can go. I sent you a PM.

Thank you Bryan. You better move on those 3 bows before I grab that guava stave away from you  ;D

Hmm, Dave has a secret weapon. Well Keenan, we'll just have to see about that  8)

Thank you Frank. I love Manny's bows so it's not surprising that I copied some of his style.

Thank you Pete. It is very cool wood - you should try it if you get a chance.
