Howdy MSPink,

Looks like you took a piece of kindling and turned it into a nice bow.   That took a lot of skill. 
It's a fine reminder to us all that one doesn't need an absolutely perfect, straight grained stave to get a really fine bow.

Thanks for sharing,
Canoe

Ha. Thats funny dragonman, I dont know i might be part pixie. Thanks for the comments guys. This bow still has my hands hurting from working around all those knots. Sure took a while. Was a lot of fun though!

Love it!I agree with Blackhawk, You read the wood perfectly and were able to reveal the bow hidden in that sapling. Well done

That is a cool bow and you nailed the Tiller on a challenging piece of wood.
