Who Hooo! That is awesome. Great job on Gnarly Carla!  Gotta love character!  That is guaranteed to turn some heads where ever you take her. Can't wait to see freaky Phylis as well.  Excellent job with a difficult piece of wood.  One thing about pushing through the fear and intimidation of staves like that is that you learn so much even if they blow. And quite the reward when it works

Now that's some fine work, there!  Great job on the Buckthorn.  I know Misslemaster (of the Buckthorn) is proud.  Gotta get me somma that stuff.

Thanks vinrmaplebows
Thanks Keenan, yeah these buckthorns are teaching me to be humble lol.
Thank you Will
Thanks Soy
Thank you Arrowind
Thanks Matt, Yeah I never would have thought to try this wood if not for seeing Cody's posted bows.
Thanks Gabe, Phylis will hopefully survive, she's even more stubborn than Carla though!
Thanks Youngboyer, I'm hoping that hole won't be a problem  :)

Amazing work!  You nailed the tiller on that one!!  You made a great looking bow out of a piece of wood that I would have been scared to fool with.  Gonna have to try me some buckthorn.
