I feel like every couple of days I see a new post by Ken. "I got bored and made 12 bows" Each one is different and a piece of work to boot! Great stuff!

That birdseye looks great, and it's been a long time since i've seen a green background.

I was almost as captured by the spring look in the background as I was by the gorgeous bow in the foreground! :) The cold seems to keep hang'n on around here. It's beautiful in Georgia this time of year!

Let us know how the Birdseye holds up under compression. After some bad things happening with some Curly Maple I stopped using really figured wood for belly's.

Nice looking bow, really nice.
