I love this bow.  Myrtle is one of my favorite bow woods and this bow looks as nice as any Blacktail, Robertson or Eaglewing that I have seen made with it.

Thanks folks for the encouraging words. I enjoy working with myrtle there is so much variation in the color and grain. I tried to get a picture to show variations. Thanks again Tony

Just went thru the thread and all the pics are coming up fine.

Must be something in your setting.

Hope you get it fixed and quick.

Your next bow is going to be a kicker!!
