    Well you sounded pleased on the phone today, and I certainly see why.  Absolutely beautiful....The whole build-along is just great.  Thank you

That is looking awesome Gordon.  Your tiller looks perfect and great balance on the flipped tips. I'm betting that will have some great speed and be a pleasure to shoot.

This has been really great to watch.  What a build-a-long and what a bow! I bet it is a fast one too.

Wow, I really appreciate all the great comments. Thank you all so much!

Jude, I like bows with working recurves. Though they somewhat tricky to pull off because if you leave them too soft they have a tendancy to pull out during tillering.

Youngbowyer, I make most of my bows hunting "capable". So yes, I expect I will sometimes use it for that purpose.

Excellent work Gordon!!

Really like the way you've got those curves working...  That really separates the boys from the bowyer sir, Excellent!!!

I really LOVE this bow Gordon.  Has it a name yet?  It's certainly pretty enough to warrant one!
