I love your R/D bows.  They're not over the top r/d making the braced profile look like a triangle.  The walnut and zebra wood look GREAT together.  The contrast in grain and texture of those is awesome.  I got get me some zebra wood.

Cool little bugger there.

Only 4 or 5? well I guess we all have slow holiday seasons ;D I still can't get over the quantity you can put out with the quality involved... nice job , can't wait to see the rest
Is this bow making a sickness? or the cure...

Nice design on that one. Sweet bend and looks like a fun bow to shoot too. Look forward to seeing the rest of the holiday builds ;D.
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.
