Hi Cornus,  that page doesnt seem to exist in Picasa.
"The Englishman takes great pride in his liberty. He values this gift more than all the joys of life, and would sacrifice everything to retain it. The populace would have you understand there is no country in the world where such perfect freedom can be enjoyed, as in England!" Frenchman, London 1719

Another very nice bow.Nice poundage out of that too.Low set.Nice.You're busier than a beaver there or at least you've been busy in the past.Seems like you got most of the woods around you I've got here.I've been keeping my eye out for some good dogwood for a bow here too.We got the gray leaf and the redtwig here.I quess you're supposed to treat it about like hickory.I really like hickory.Seems like it is not quite long enough for me here most times,but I'll keep looking.

Wow, nice bow, nice finish and looks to be very well crafted with good attention to detail as well. What are the specs as far as length, draw weight, etc? Nice job.

Good job, nice bow. I've got to add dogwood to my bucket list.
