Thanks Mike,
didn't think decking boards would be high enough quality and I've been burned too many times buying sight-unseen.  Will definitely check out your supplier  ;)

this bow is made from a decking board....if your lucky you can find a good one now and then.....but do not use with even the smallest pin knots

Nicely executed Dave. I really like that bow.

I personally always get the tips working sligtly. IMO only a tip that bends ever so slightly has been reduced enough in mass and I think you executed that well. Stiff, but still bending a hair.

Really nice. I'll PM you my address. Lol.

That bow looks very good, I like the color of the laminates and the boo back.
Well, I would do the handle more skinny to match the elegant lines of the bow.

Very nice! Inspiring indeed. The unbraced profile screams speed and that mass saving maple insert is a beautiful touch.

Sweet curves on that girl.  I'm sure she flings an arrow pretty good as well!!
