Cool bow and even cooler country side. Gloomy weather and terrain are perfect for 14th century battle!

Very nicely constructed bow and the finish work tops it off.

Yeah, I just smiled, but inside I was crying :laugh: ;)
You made meat with it, so both the bow and I were really happy :) ... don't get to do that in the UK.

I knew there would be some bitter, tea flavored tears about the arrow rest.  ;D Had I made it for myself, I would have left it bare but the gentleman I made it for requested the shelf. This won't be my last elb, though.

That came out really nice. I love the character in it. That side profile looks great. Has to be sweet shooter. Nice work buddy.
