Wow. Everything about that bow shouts top shelf. Those skins are stunning too. I like the little dots you put on the side. Nice touch.  Danny

Take this the right way, please, but sometimes I wish I were NOT 6'2".  I could never get away with that at 62".  I could never get away with that without deflexing a bit, and I could never get away with nice big recurves like that, which I prefer, on a bow that long.  Add all that to the fact that I see sooooo many little elms, maples, mulberry branches, sycamore branches, yellow locust branches, and a MILLION plums and serviceberries that are ALMOST long enough to cut.

  That is a beautiful bow.

I always look forward to seeing your work posted Weylin.  There is nothing about this one not to love.  It is so different from the materials that I have access to, and you put it together perfectly.  Your finishing work is awesome.   When it's time to drag out the big elk bows again, and it looks like you will be neglecting that one, you could send it down to Alabama and I will find a use for it! ::) :)
