You guys don't know how much your comments mean to me! I told my wife last night after posting the bow that I really hoped people liked it, because if they didn't I'm going to have a tough time trying to do better on the next one. Again, thank you so much for the nice comments! :)

P.S. I told my son Jamison last night when there were only just a couple of replys that he had already got some very positive comments on his painting...he was grinning from ear to ear! ;)

Outstanding bow Greg. The attention to detail shows how much thought you put into this bow. The tips, and handle are really unique. Your son's artwork adds a beautiful final touch.

Thank you Cheapshot and Jawge, I really appreciate it! :) I'll have to get Jamison to read some of the comments on his painting, maybe it will help persuade him to paint more outdoor/wildlife stuff...that would be cool! ;)

Greg, what an awesome project.  You put a great deal of thought and effort into this bow and it paid off.  Great in all aspects.  Rough yet elegant.  Beautiful artwork on the handle, tips, and the blossom.  I like the participation of others in the project also.  Now, I think I deserve a bottle of your good wine after all of these compliments!!  Great job.  I love this bow.

Very creative and artistic in every aspect. Your son's portrayal of the blossom is fantastic. Like knightd said, your both gifted. This is one of those that will stick in my mind for a long time, Great Job! It sure would look good resting on top of a big ole gobbler ;)

Thank you Dan, I'll try my best to save one of the few bottles I have left for you! ;)

Thank you Justin, and congratulations again on you BOY...great job on that bow and well deserving of the honor!

Thanks Tracy, that would be quite a trophy taking a gobbler with a selfbow.

Very nice bow Greg lots of creativity went into this bow, your son did a fine job on the painting.
I do have one question though Can you sharpen a broad knife or broadhead on the back of it ;) :D

This is one impressive bow. Not only is it excellently tillered but details like the tips and handle show real artistry. Not many can do lacing like Greg did on the handle. Quite the January Self Bow of the Month candidate.
