Man those are damned fine lookin bows, sir!!!!! That birdseye turned out super nice lookin. Ya for sure got some serious bend into the wife's trilam.

Got to say though that bow ya made for you is real sweet, like everything about it.

You've made some nice bows Ken, but that top one is probably my favorite yet.  Birds eye maple = genius! :)

Very sexy!

I second dellis. That black one is damn sweet. The recurves stuck perfect. Can we get a full draw?
