Oh I like that one a lot. She is a looker bet she fast to. Sure hope she doesn't break your heart. I bet she smells good to. I gotta try a ERC. I think that's the nicest one Ive seen Jeff. I'd love to see her in person.

Thank you all very kindly.

I guess what I like about this one is that the design, materials and process of building all came together nicely. It's important for me to note that that never would have happened if it weren't for this website- reading threads (about design, performance, materials, tillering etc) and seeing examples (made by the best bowyers around).

Thank you DC, Pat B, Brad, rps3, Bob, Outlaw, pmwb, Steve, PatM, Bassman, PAsteve, bj and kbear.

BJ, I sure hope I get to show it to you in person one of these days.

I promise I'll let you all know how she holds up.  :)

Lovely work!  It's neat seeing a wide ERC bow.

That's an epic bow!  The black grip, wraps, and tips really make the other colors pop.

Very nice. looks like many parts came together to become something unique and special. Congrats!!!
For me the outers of the limbs (not shyas) look a bit stiff, can you tell me why you made it like that?
Thank you.
