Thats a real beaut Bernie!! Orders will be stackin up!!      

Thanks, Woody and Kenny, for the nice comments.

I tried to work with metal once, VTm, and it interacted with my fillings - ouch! Oh, that's right, I don't have those kind of teeth anymore - LOL.

Very nice looking bow Bernie.  Bet it shots as sweet as it looks!  With talent like yours you should build a 'curve next.  How many coats of finish did you apply?

WOW!!  Makes me want to start one. I've always been motivated by old...err I mean senior Marines. SIR YES SIR.   Semper Fi.  Bernie

Awesome Bernie!!  You did great    

Madness, it was about 9 or 10 (I lost track -   :rolleyes:  ) I thank all three of you for looking and for commenting. Very much appreciated - it does shoot sweet - and quite smooth.

Very nice, congrats!

You got yourself a very special longbow there!
tpoof

be looking for those full draw photo's!  

Thank you so very much, FM, DG, and tpoof.

bernie- one fine bow you built there..... those nocks you cut look perfect!

Thank you - a lot of guidance from Mike there, shapeshifter, but we both were very pleased with the way they came out.

Who made  your glueups?

Also my friend, fellow military (Navy Corpsman w/FMF)retiree, and fellow archery club member, Mike Brooks. He ordered the woods out of AL, as I recall, and made a little different glue up for both me and him.

Bernie ya done good.<><        

I got dibs on the Adcock if ya get tired of it!!

Seriously, great job, friend.  Can't wait to see it in action if ya make it to B'More!

LOL - Still getting it tuned in on right arrows and all the little things, Lee. Killie beat you for dibs on my ACS - but no worry, it ain't happening anyway. I will have the new one with me at B'more, and will shoot it some, even if not for full courses. I took it to a club meeting tonight and I have to say that it was pretty well received (and that's an understatement).

That bow and your new to you Kabar and you're going to be heck on them NC deer this fall Bernie.

Congratulations on a job well done!
I like the way the string grooves look, too.

Dibbs on Texas Slim    
My, 'Panacea' need a Texas mate.

I need a grandson too. Two grown girls...and I'm waiting.  

The glue ups came out of Arkansas, not Alabama.  They are the work of Lindell Beene who I have ordered quite a few of these from and I highly recommend if anybody in interested in making a solid and fairly inexpensive bow.  The woods he uses are beautiful and he is very helpful should you need it.
