nice bow, dana.  i particularly like the nocks.  how do you like elm for bow wood?  i've got a stave in my basement, that's waiting to become a holmegaard.  just haven't had the time (nor the guts) to tackle it.

[DanaM]

Marius this was my first piece of elm I worked and its tough stuff.
I would love to try a straight one. Welcome back.

Dana, good looking bow from a rough-looking chunk of wood. I like the charcoal and grease finish, too. Name it "Elmo".

Dana, looks like you nailed it, great job on that bow, makes me reconsider some of the crooked wood drying in my pile. That woodpecker is purty, my father has some really huge ones that come to his suet bag. Yesterday I had a pair of cardinals at my feeder, a beautiful contrast to the bright white snow. If they're back today I'll have to get some pics
