Fine bow!

very cool bow, but it's not a many bow if the f/d ain't crouching on a rock or a stump is it :laugh:

Great stick, looks very primitive sort of a Polynesian look to it.  8)

I'm diggin' it!  I love the earthy colors with the dark and light browns.  That guava is some nice stuff!
Florida to Kwajalein to Turkey and back in Florida again.  Good to be home but man was that an adventure!

Cool bow and nicely tillered. Like that look of the backing and handle fur, has a rugged look that works well in contrast to the smooth and polished belly wood. Very Nice!
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.
