Thats a gorgeous bow right there... I know we have great bow woods in the east but, you know, the grass  is always greener over there ::) That yew tree you guys have out there is amazing, such nice color and grain. Somebody got lucky!

Beautiful bow!

 Blacktail, This was the yew stave you gave me .
 
 Del, Falling in love with the bows you make is part of the addiction. Giving them away therapy. ;D

Pat, The snake was a blueish black with some occasional red spots down the side, This one was 5'1" and he sent another that was more of a reddish tone that was 5"7"

Gordon. You once said that you "love to see the look on their face when you give someone a bow".  I dwell on that comment occasionally and even though I can't be there when  he opens it, I thought of that moment often while building it. ;)

Keenan I am pretty new to bow making, only built five, but this is the second time your work has knocked me back a step.
 
Went into rolling my own 'cause I felt I knew what I wanted and what I liked, mainly straight and plain workhorse bows. After studying the work of Halfeye I realized the curves and bends served a serious purpose and with a big boost from him have begun using some of his technique.

But your ability to create art in a fine functioning weapon is a skill that very few can attain. You and maybe two others (that I have seen) have taken the art to a level so far above the norm that I ain't even jealous nor do I want to emulate it. It's enough just to know it's there and that it can be done.And for that, I thank you.
