Nice lines Bub. Your the best brother-in-law ever!

That should make just about anyone drop their training wheels  :)
Is this bow making a sickness? or the cure...

Nice work bubby. I've been meaning to make my bro in law one as well,as he too is another lost soul deceived by the marketing masses and shoots with those dang ugly things they think are bows. This gives me some inspiration to make him one.  ;)

Looks great. I'm working on a short maple with a mild reflex-deflex so seeing your bow has been very helpful. Your BIL is lucky!

nice bow, nice lines, is the walnut just in the handle and the rest unbacked hard maple?

All of your bows have that clean, healthy glow about them. ;D

Wish  I had a brother in law I liked that much.
