A fine job on that one, Soy!
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.

WOW! Absolutely Gorgeous!!!
My compliments on a beautiful bow.
I found many years ago that it is much easier and more rewarding working with those that don't know anything than those that know it all.

That there is a fine bow! The thing I like the most is you used something that most people would just discard or cut up for firewood.

Great save on that old post.  You made one fine looking bow out of it.
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

Thanks guys i hope to get at least one more done of the post ...the thing i like most on this one is the dark streaks that were under the cracks and borrer holes  :o and i am very impressed at how little wood is there to make such a fast bow...makes me cringe every time i brace it...it is my first shorty but will not be my last.

Flat out cool bow. You did a great job with that, old sage post wood can be some tough stuff to work but the end it can reward you for the effort, again nice work.

Stunning stuff these old fence post bows. I would think twice about burning something that ugly and yet you get a bow from it.

I appreciate the sentiment, but you deserve all the credit.  I played a very small part.    I agree with Blackhawk,  your finest work yet!  Beautiful tiller.  Even the knotty sections are working hard.  Well done ol buddy,  very well done!  Josh
