Thanks John, it really means a lot to me to hear from guy's like you that have been around here for awhile and don't just hand out compliments to every bow. I love to see you guys post a reply thank you so much.
Ed that doesn't mean I don't appreciate guys like you that have really helped me a lot with all your valuable information. Thanks and I do really like how all the contrasts blend together so well.

Thanks Paul, I did get a bow out of that Elm stave you gifted me. I should  have done better with that nice  stave, but I have a lot to learn yet about Elm. I do like it but much different than HHB. I plan on harvesting some in a few weeks.
Thanks Bubby much appreciated

Thanks GilsGlis, I can see it's gonna be a challenge to come up with something different every time. I guess even if two were the same they'd still be different.

BJ! Superb job brother. Everything looks really sweet and like Stick Bender said, they keep getting better. I particularly like the way the handle wood matches the skins.  :OK

Thanks upstate, I really appreciate it. I like the way the Mulberry and black walnut really go with the skins to. I guess I didn't get any good pictures of tip overlays, but they are black walnut over top of Mulberry.

BJ,
Nice bow!  I ain't much at making them yet - names is something I am better at. That looks like Hornbow Snake to me.  Slightly more appropriate than Horny Snake👹😀!
