Our community has a gentleman that is in a fight for his life against brain cancer. He is undergoing treatment in Chicago. In order to help with expenses we are having an auction fundraiser. I was asked if I would be willing and able to donate a bow to the cause. Here is my effort. I know it's name, "Hope", has been done around here but I couldn't come up with a more fitting name. I just hope it raises a lot of money and the winner likes it as much as I do.

And the weight and length is almost a "one size fits all" type bow. Great veneers.
Very nice.
Well done, hope she`ll get a proper price!
That's awesome. I hope it fetches the $$ that the bow and the gentleman in need deserves.
:thumbsup: :notworthy: Well done......

Very nice, Eric. Great gesture.
Great gesture indeed and very nice work! Just saw the pics on the HH thread and had to come see about this one.
How would a person bid on this bow? is there a link? I could have missed it....
It's a local auction with auctioneer that talks 10 times faster than I think and is the funniest guy I know. Really entertaining night for all that attend. No way for people to bid...unless you make the trip to Tustin, Michigan next Saturday. ;)

The bow did pretty well. Went for almost $400. Not too bad. Money will really help this family in need.
That's beautiful, and very thoughtful.
