Great job Thad. You can't go wrong with a D style bow. Thank you for entering this beauty in March BOM ;)

I think the bit of sapwood makes it a little fancy. Nice bow for sure.

Push comes to shove in times of trouble its bows like that we'll be making to make meat. No frills, just a stick and a string with good tiller. Nice job.   Danny
