GB and sieddy: I'm wondering what is the meaning of kissing the sky???


Purple haze, all in my brain
Lately things they don't seem the same
Actin' funny, but I don't know why
Excuse me while I kiss the sky

Jimi Hendrix

You mean it's not "scuse me while I kiss this guy"  ??   :o

My apologies to all... I had to....  >:D

Ahh, I've got it. Should have known that.
Call it sitting on the brain or just my old age.

Thanks for the lesson, Holten.

All others: thanks a lot for the nice comments.

That is a stunner. That cedar looks absolutely gorgeous on the belly.  Thanks for walking us through your vision.  Very cool seeing it come alive.  I especially like seeing your experience with the hollow limb bows coming through in your carving of the fades.  Spectacular bow!  8)

WHAT?

When I saw that checked old piece of wood, I was thinking, maybe you'd make a cool shelf or book end or friggin chop sticks or something....

not a stunner of a bow.  But you did.

Wow.

I have lurked on this site for some time now, eventually signing up as to access the archives. I haven't posted until now because I've had nothing to contribute nor have I had a question that I could not find an answer to by searching. While I have seen creations that have blown me away or inspired me, they have all be old posts that are no longer active. This however, compels me.

Simon, your bow is wicked-sexy. From her slender limbs with flawless over and under lays to the geometrically radical handle design that blends both superior form and function, sensuality and performance.(just realized this is reading Like a BMW advertisement...Bavaria, what can one say?) This bow has the look of a Bad Girl in an evening gown or what the boys would call a "Naughty Hottie"...Indeed a stunning creation.

Hi Simon,
This has got to be one of the most unique bows I've seen and extremely well done.
Cheers, Deerslayer.
