Thank you Country.

Thank you jpitts. A local (Portland OR) hardwood store occasionally has some boards in stock.

Hey Carson, thanks. I plan on bringing it to the Yamhill 3D shoot. I hope to see you there.

Thank you for the compliment Josh.

I didn't know who Chip Foose was so I looked him up. That's funny. Thank you Tom.

You sir have an amazing ability To blend the proper amount of color and contrast ... And then Turn it into functional art. It's always a pleasure To view Your work!
 You said that a power lam Is there to build up to keep to handle from popping off How does that differ from putting a strip from tip to tip ?
 I'm trying to make laminated I can't seem to get them tillerd my hats off to you
Is this bow making a sickness? or the cure...

What a nice compliment Soy. Thank you. A tip to tip middle lamination by itself will not prevent the handle from being overstressed. The lamination has to taper from the fades to the handle for it to provide any sort of protection.

Thank you stringstretcher, I very much appreciate the compliment.

Lovely bow.  Those core lams I find hard to fabricate at the feather.

Amazing craftsmanship as usual.  Whenever you post a bow I dang near start salivating.  They are never a dissappointment.  You sir are a true artisan.

Good to hear Gordon. I can't wait to see it at the "1st Annual Shot through the Heart St. Valentines Shoot"  ;D
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
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
