Tim,   Stunning bow there. Very inspirational as always.  Often imitated never duplicated!

Tim, this is my favorite bow I have seen of yours. The backing is sweet and that braced profile is impossible to refuse.  How could you see that and want to hunt with something else?

Thanks you all very much,many nice words coming from some very impressive bowyers,makes one kinda humble. :-[ Also makes one strive for that perfect bow,(If there is such a thing).

as far as cranking them out? Feb is usually when I spend alot of time in the shop. Several bows going at once in different stages.It is my "quality time".

Thanks again all.

Sure do love those carp skins!! Overall, I'd say that little shooter is another success. I'm constantly amazed by how little wood you all leave on those bows. I look at my stack a sticks and see where I can keep on shaving.

I wish those carp skins weren't so stinkin labor intensive. I'd love to get my hands on a couple a those!

Tim, that bow is gorgeous! I like everything about it and sure wish I lived in Ohio long enough to be getting it. I know he will love it.

This might very well be the most gorgeous bow I've ever seen. Makes me ashamed to ever post one of my own.  :-\ Timo, you are a craftsman of the first degree.
