Oh yeah!  That's a NICE one alright!
Talking trees. What do trees have to talk about, hmm... except the consistency of squirrel droppings?

You can't help but to love the PA community.  Such good people here.  Glad it made it across the pond. Very nicely done Paul.
.   you right there idaho matt i go on a few forums and the people on here are the kindest of all. i still find it hard to believe that people who only know each from posts on a forum pull together to make stuff like this happen. cheers everyone.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments. To tell the truth I was very nervous about it and hoped it would live up to expectations of doners.  I'm glad everything is OK after customs. Thanks to everyone that helped out and offered door prizes. Now go get some full draw shots before this mob comes after you  >:D

By the way, the tube it came in is the same tube bubby sent a trade bow to me two Years ago. So that PVC has gone California to Chicago to England. Maybe that tube will make it around the world.

I don't know what is nicer, the bow or the gesture.  Very cool  8)

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

Nice work Paul that bow looks sweet. I've shot a few of Paul's bows too and I can say your gonna like it even more when you shoot it Danny.
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.

Can I ask what the fade wraps are and how it was done and can I copy it for a bow I'm finishing up this weekend?  Awesome bow.

thanks, I have a takedown sleeve that I want to hide the edges of, and the fades of the bow, and this would be perfect.
