Looks nice Eddie! Like the walnut stain and the skins match very well.

Nice bow Eddie. Looks great in all regards. No prettier skins than those copperheads..

Awesome bow.  I think the dark stain really made those copperhead skins pop.  It looks great.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

good bow...nice work.....it takes a near perfect tiller to get a 60" stiff handle bow to bend like that and take virtually no set....IMHO...

Great looking bow Eddie.  I love that side profile.  Very gently deadly.

Brian, the leaves started filling my pick up from the Maple over the weekend, guess Winter is coming ::)

Thanks, Guy, I'm back for a few weeks, anyway.

Thank you Dave and Matt. I took it slow on the tillering and never pulled past my target weight. And, I really heat treated the belly good.

She's an all around beauty mullet, and excellent tiller as well.

I also like the warning sign for deer >:D ;D
