Ryan, that stave was toasted through and through! Just as black in the center of the limb as on the outside! Last time I tried, I couldn't walk on water...so don't think I'd stood a chance saving that stave either. You might could have though! ;D ;D ;D

Greg,

Excellent work as always.  I love the struggle and the problems you overcame on this bow.  Great job on the skins and overlays.  Beautiful work of art.  Can't wait to see you in May.  I have some interesting wood to work on.

You've got me convinced you know how to make a classy bow!  Great pictures! Got your fine bow bookmarked for April Self Bow of the Month.

I love the handle wrap. And the tiller looks right on to me.

Appreciate the comments guys. We spent most of the day Saturday cutting firewood for the Tn. Classic. I've bend trying to work out stiff muscles shooting my bow today. I'm really pleased with how it's shooting. Even though it is a little lighter in weight then I normally make, I'll probably be hunting with it this fall. I can't believe I'll make another one between now and then that I like more, unless maybe a Ryan recurve possibly...we'll see. :)
