Thanks guys .  I'm sure you may have guessed it already .I am a  Cabinetmaker/ Furnituremaker by trade .I've been trying to post some pics for a while here but the format of all my pics wouldn't allow it. I'll have to remember that when taking pictures of future bows. And as far as shooting the Butler, I wasn't aware of a season on that. Find sport where you can and make sport where there isn't any.

Sheer elegance!  Please remind the shooter to raise his pinkie when shooting, good form, you know!

Any chance you can get us a picture of the bow at full draw?

Hoping to get the Gentleman out shooting again real soon. Brought him out to try it out before I finished it up . First time he's ever shot a bow. He did quite well and is very excited about it, so I have to make sure the spark doesn't die. The pics I took before were all to high res.to post here so I'll try for some more.Nothing remarkable on the tiller ( board bow)

A more appropriate grip in classic black leather.
