Pity this one didn't get entered for BOM, I'd have voted for it.  BECAUSE IT'S MINE!  MINE I TELL YOU, ALL MINE!!!  HAHAHAHA!

The Christmas exchange was very good to me, thank you very much Ken.  I can't believe the crazy bend on those tips!  When I pulled it out of the box I immediately remembered seeing it posted here and was dumbstruck (as opposed to the workaday dumb that I usually am).

Ken does an interesting handle wrap.  The leather is very soft material and when he is wrapping the point where the arrow pass will be, he makes a couple twists in the leather thong.  That way the leather stands just a little proud above the rest of the wrap making a fine arrow rest.  Very clever, indeed. 

Ken, I vow to hunt with these bows and to hunt with scrupulous ethics.  Thanks again.

Ken how did you get the ipe to bend around the recurves and hold their shape without pulling back? Are they really thin overlays?

Sweet bow Ken. I must have missed it before. The recurves look well done too. I have yet to do a recurve. Someday maybe.   Danny
