Cowboy this was a tiny tree, the width of the handle is the all tree, about 1 1/2"


thanks everyone for the nice words

I have been watching the progress of this beautiful bow, by grace of a mutual friend taking and posting a few pics on OutdoorCore. I captured the pics and posted them on the Gallery Pages (13 and 14 I believe) of my website. I not only Love the bow Manny made for me , I am honored and humbled by it (and I can hardly stand the wait for it - especially now that I know it is ready -  :D) Bless your heart and your skills, Manny. Thanks for the extra pics. What graceful lines. Don't y'all just love those tips too?

Oooooo I want one :D  Bernie you are a lucky man, she is a beauty. Braced profile looks good, can't wait to see full draws of both these bows. Great as usual Manny.

Dadgum, an 1 1/2" tree? and here I thought you had to have at least a six inch wide stave to make a two in wide bow. Wow again - master of the Guava ;D.

I am so "Antsy"!  ;D I do understand Manny having things to do with it yet though (pics, full draw, etc.  - NOT your full draw, Manny, just the bow's full draw - LOL), and besides, the anticipation is exquisite too (I keep telling myself).
