John...  stunningly beautiful bow!!  More than 60 rings in the bow alone?  Any idea what diameter the whole tree was? 

That's a bloody gorgeous bow and I'm sure it'll put plenty of meat on your table!!

I know where my vote for May BOM is going ;)

horrible tiller, crummy stave, shoddy finnish, and your form stinks!!!!!!  Just thought i would balance the rest of the comments.  Looks great I hope you use it to staple down a big one.

You've made a really super bow. The tiller is spot-on, and the skins look terrific! Nice work! Did I miss it earlier, or how did you induce reflex in the tips?

You did darn good on that one, I don't know how I missed it this long, John. Also found out the other day that your brother is located not too far south of me. ;)
