You bows are an inspiration to say the least.  Great job on yet another great bow.  I have necer drawn a bow that short.  Are they smooth or a little stacky?

Thanks Donald, I think the tillers alright, I've only made a few with that offset handle and I struggle with 'em.
Thanks for the kind words John, appreciate it.
Thank ya Bob, I had fun with the dyeing of the bark backing, always like to play with finishes that are new to me.
Thanks Del, glad you like her.
Thank ya Slim, I like me an occasional challenging piece o wood.
Thanks Pappy, I watch you Tenn. boys craft some fine bows out of some rough wood and I learn from it.
Thanks for the kind words owlbait, appreciate it.
Thank ya Matt, yeah I have a short draw, rarely more than 24" and yes many of my bows do stack up at full draw
Keeps me from overdrawing. ;D  I'll figure it out eventually, still learning the craft is what I always tell myself.
Thanks ya Mr. Drew, much appreciated.
Thanks Paul, appreciate the compliment.

Very nice BB, you make some sweet bows man. I also thought you must have gotten stung but now it makes sense.

I'll save you some time.

Thanks Doob  ;)

That is a Beaut!  That looks like a tricky piece of wood, but it looks like you nailed it.  I am always impressed with your work Greg.

the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

Great looking bow with a cool name. Showing pictures unbraced, braced, and drawn is like telling a story, and you told a dandy with this bow.
