Looks really nice Gordon. I like them long like that. I think you made the perfect bow for someone starting out because that length will make it more forgiving of shooting form and  also more forgiving of abuse. Im sure he'll be happy. I would be.

Glad you are having fun with crazy tropical wood Gordon. That is one of the prettiest I have seen..I think we will see a lot more osage and Ipe together on bows in the future ;D.

Fine craftsmanship as always.  The wood combo looks really good.  The new owner should be very happy.

I can't find the drool emoticon....that bow is absoutely gorgeous. 

Did you steam bend the laminations, or bend it during glue up?

 Very nice Gordon, I'm sure he's going to be very pleased with it. Love the way that you did the osage power lam. It makes a very nice accent stripe. You sure are getting those laminate bows down and withthe Ipe I'msure it's a great shooter.  Let me know what how it fits Him. Any Idea when your coming over this way?

 Just had to take another look, absolutely beautiful bow Gordon. ;)  Are you going to make a match for the Mrs. or did she opt out?
