Thank you Pappy, Howard, lostarrow & Dubois, appreciate the compliments on the bow fellows.
Thanks Parnell, I look forward to seeing your buckthorn bows. I've had my frustrations with this wood but can't seem to put it down none the less, gonna keep making 'em till I run out and then I likely cut more of it.
Thanks OneBow, I would have used birch if I'd had any but your right kinda ironic yes. :)
Thanks Drew, we gonna see ya at elm hall again next summer?

Man Greg,

I think I'm in love. With the bow man with the bow.  >:D >:D I would give my right foot for that thing, it is that nice. Are you planning on tying some horse hair or feathers to the nub at the top of the bow? Awesome, Awesome, Awesome, just a dream bow for me. Man I am jealous.  >:D >:D

Can't wait to shoot that one!  Anyone who never has seen Greg's work, I can't even explain how awesome the finish work is. When you hold it it seems right out of a museum. Very primitive look and feel. Some day I'll own me one >:D

Jon, now what would I do with another right foot? Thanks for the offer though, glad you like the bow man. :)
Paul thanks for the compliment brother, you'll have one but it'll have to be a better shooter than this one.Thanks Wildman, appreciate it.
Thanks Josh, we all get inspirations from others on here and I'm no exception.

sure looks great and the tiller is awesome for a difficult stick... yep, looks like the real thing!

I must have missed that one. Looks like some stick at first glance, but the when braced it shows to be very well bent  ;)
And I really like your paint jobs a lot.
Don't shoot!
