Glad to see you get her posted up Weylin. I bet your dad never envisioned his son making a bow from that wood when he cut 30 years ago.  8)

I have had the pleasure of seeing this bow in the flesh several times now. The pics don't do it justice.  It shoots an arrow with some authority too.

The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

Good looking bow. I like how you handled that knot.
It must have been cool working a stave that your father had cut down.
