I've missed seeing you bow Adam.  Great job on this one.  I think this is the first selfie that I have seen of yours.  I love it.  Not to heavy not to light,  I wish my name was Greg.   >:D

 ;D Certainly not the first selfbow I've made. I made my wife an osage selfbow recurve almost exactly like this only sans the skins, a few inches shorter, and 25#. But, I do make about 80% lam bows, that's for sure.

Thanks for all the compliments everyone... I appreciate it.

Gorgeous, Adam!  No, not you, the bow.

"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
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
