Man your cranking them out.  Excellent work and nice thin tips.

Two of the most gorgeous woods on the planet, IMO.  Beautiful contrast.  Gorgeous bow. Love those limb profiles!  Awesome work!

That is a great looking bow, but I have a problem with it.

It seems that every nice looking bow that I see ends up becoming the next bow that I try to make!  Pictures of this bow will certainly be saved for just this reason, it is a great one.

Like Brad said earlier, those limb tips sure are thin -- very nice.

He says another like they are just humdrum everyday items haha.

That looks awesome, and if you have too many laying around, I'd be beyond happy to take one off your hands.

Nice.  You just can't beat the beauty of curly maple in a traditional bow or a muzzleloader.
