Talk about a character that bow is loaded with individuality, looks awesome from every angle and profile. Good call on going with the shape and not heating at all. That unbraced side profile is pure and natural primitive bow, another great bow  Blackhawk. You sure make em' nice man.

Cool bow!
Looks like Druid gotten some competition at making pretty bows out of gnarly ugly wood  ;D

"Sweet" doesnt do that bad boy justice! love the character knots but am most impressed with the tiller with them. must have been a bugger chasing a ring! Well done

Thanks Roy...ya got that right...always nice to hear from a neighbor just south of me down in west by god  ;)..

Thanks steve...who doesn't like character bows...not too many I imagine

Thanks eric...yeah you know it was a $#!$# to chase a ring on with those big lumpy raised knots,even if you do follow the grain right they still wanna tear out on ya....it actually wasn't too bad tillering,I think the ring chasing was the toughest,and I like chasing rings and can run down a ring pretty quick,but that one did test my patience if I remember right
