Great job!  Perfect draw weight & length!! :P  Would like to see that one if I can make it down there for 2015's Classic.

Love your stuff Pappy and this one is no acception. Looks like a nice piece of mulberrry. Been a while since I did one. I think my skills have improved since then. Got a couple pieces in the shed will do one day.

That is a beauty. I love the classic look of those curves at full draw.  Bet it is an all around nice shooter.

You did a nice job on that bow Pappy. I've made a handful of bows from mulberry and I like it as well.
Gotta ask though are you getting shorter?  ;D  That bow looks longer than 62 in the pic of you drawing it. Must be the camera angle or my bad eyes, pretty sure you know how to measure stuff. :)

All around the mulberry stave, Pappy chased the tiller....
The mullberry stopped to flip it's tips, zing goes the bowstring!

Heck, with this bow, you might even be able to shoot further than 10 yrds at a deer!  ;)

Thanks Guys, I may be Greg. ;) :) :)  It is a sweet shooter, and so light, I need to weigh it to see for sure but I think it came in a little over 16oz. :) Thanks again ,much appreciated. :)
