Asier, thank you so much for your nice words.

Thank you Zen. She seems to shoot about as well as my other laminated bows. I don’t know what it would do through a chrono though as I don’t own one.

Thank you Don.

Hey Greg, good to hear from you again. Thank you for the compliment. We’re planning another Rose City Bowyer meeting in Jan and I’ll be hosting. I’d love to see you there!

Scott, I’m definitely open to that idea. I’m very impressed with your work.

Thank you for the compliment youngBowyer.

Thank you Dan.

Thank you Grunt. I’m rather particular about the tips on my bows. It’s important to me that they are strong, yet streamlined and low mass.

Dean, thank you for the compliment. Having the right tools makes a difference when making tips – and then practice.

Hey Stan, it’s been a while. Thank you for the nice compliment. I’d love to see you at our next bowyers meeting if you can swing it.

Thank you Rob – it’s nice to hear from you again. How have you been?

Thank you Pete.
Gordon

Is this the bow that failed on you?

Thank you Dave. We work on bows during the gathering. You are certainly welcome to join us.

Marc, this is not the bow that failed.

Thank you Pappy.

Fantastic looking bow Gordon!  I really like the colors, and it looks fast too. :)

Good.  So you did get one to hold together.  It is a beautiful wood and the smell as you work it is quite interesting.  I still have some Bloodwood and every once in awhile I am tempted to give it another try, but then I remember all the other failures and I change my mind

Thank you brownhillboy.

Marc, it's holding together so far. It is beautiful wood and looks great in a bow.
