Looking at your outfit, I must say the bow is way more elegant than the builder!!  8)
Fine bow, clint, hope you don't mind.
And I like the shorts/shoe/hat combo.

Nice to see this bow all finished up Clint, I remember you scraping on it at Marshall.
How did you find the wood? Was there many grain swirls? Great job bud

Thanks guys. 

Simson, I don't mind.  I dress for comfort not style

Goat, It didn't have any grain swirls.  It did have a few knots, humps, and dips in it.  Officer Seabass gave me the stave a few years ago in a trade.

Gutshot, I'll bring it to moontree.
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

Looks real nice outlaw man.  Hope to see it up close this spring when you give it the steel barrel penetration test at Marshall.
