Perfection of form and function that I have come to expect of your bows. Fine work again sir.

I have never worked with lemonwood. The school bows or my youth were lemonwood selfbows mass produced in the 40' and 50's. My understanding is that the Calycophyllum candidissimum (Dagame) was mostly imported from Cuba and dried up after Castro. Would love to find a  source.

Nice. Ya know what you might do?  Assemble shots of your last 12 bows into a calander.  Now there is a calander I can remember to look at.

Thank you Coaster. These old shoulders sure did appreciate the break from my hunting weight bows.

Thank you for your kind words misslemaster.

Hey Cesar, thank you the nice compliment.

Evil Dave, thank you for the compliment and the leather!

Thank you Pappy.

Thank you Slim Bob.

Thank you for the really nice compliment Shaun. Lemonwood is so easy to work I can understand why it was used for mass produced bows.

Simson, thank you for the nice compliment.

Thank you Gabe.

Thank you bushboy. Nothing wrong with board bows - just a different set of skills involved.

What a nice compliment Prarie Bowyer. Thank you!
