  Sorry Mike, I think Kinfolk might be in line first, even Branch ones. :D ;) That is one, hot looking bow James. Man you keep going shorter and shorter. By the way, got a turkey and drilled another hog in the forehead with that 48"er I got of yours.

A fantastic bow and a real masterpiece.
I am fascinating about the idea of a all-wood-horsebow too. It is a great challenge.

Not sure how I missed this one? Man that is nice.I love those short recurves ,I just can't shoot them worth a crap.

Always wanted to try one of them thumb rings myself, just figure I'd have a hard time with that arra being on the wrong side of the bow? :) ;)

Stunning bow and just like one I have been planning in my head for years.
How wide is it?
Any tips for someone hoping to make a similar impossible all wood curvy bow?
I'd really like you to give away some of the secrets in the way it was put together, tillered etc.

That bow is really quite a accomplishment! Sounds like you've more then paid your dues and now you're reaping the benefits! Look forward to seeing it at the Classic! ;)
