Man I hope I draw you for the swap. Ohhhhhh wait I ain't in it this year. If I was I might would have to make 60 plus bows cause I think would draw everyones name some how.
Nice looking bow.
Sure is one fine looking bow there congrats! I can't get enough of these builds.
thanks guys just had to try this belly design and see how it worked.

Thanks for the offer ken75 but I am trying my hand at the build myself. I hope to turn a bow out some day. I would love to see a build a long of the I beam.
Plus you will have you hands full with the swap as is.
Happy building and happier hunting,
Kelly
