What a happy ending here. Great pictures, love the bow, the finish did work out nicely. The brace profile of that bow really looks wicked. Excellent job!

In last picture, please don't shoot Santa, the kids here would be very disappointed.

She came out great! I like the way you left the bow an inch or 2 longer to compensate for that crown. Well done! Jawge

Knap,
         Beautiful job on the bow, arrows too. I've had a dogwood stave on the rack for about fifteen years now, guess I'd better get to it. Thanks for the inspiration!!
