That bow turned out really nice.  Very well tillered.  I really like the Garder Snake skins. They are about the largest Snake we have up here and I have been keeping my eyes open for some large ones

Super job, the garter snakes give it a different look. Looks like sweet shooter.

 :) Geez guys, I think my head is swelling!!! haha
You guys are busy praising my work when in reality its YOU'S who should get a pat on the back!
Without your encouragement and watching and listening to your work ( and the workmanship is awesome) this bow would have likely never happened!
This site is by far the best out there and it feels as if I know each one of you!
Thanks again for all the praises and compliments, but you all know that each one of us is doing our best in this sport that we all love!

Tpoof, Outstanding !!  That is one top notch bow. The tiller is great and the accents are very striking. The name for the bow is fitting as well. You have a strong contender for BOM on that beauty.  Congratulations on a very impressive bow.   Keenan
