Nice work! Sweet bend!
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.

Exceptional work! Love the red eye in the first picture. Also like to see a bow drawn all the way in "full draw" photos. That would have been a serious contender in the Torges ambush bow challenge a few years back.

Phew! First bow, or just first post? Can't be your first bow. That is amazing craftsmanship, and very well tillered.

That's beautiful! What did you sign it with?

How did you induce reflex on the tips? Dry heat, steam, or boiling?

I really like those stats.  That would make a fine elk hunting weapon for these brush loving roosevelts out here.   Wow, what a sweet bend.  I love the bulbous handle style too.

No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso
