Had the pleasure of seeing this bow in  person Saturday, I'm sure Sonny is smiling for sure. Matt & I talked about sitting under the awning of Sonny & Joyces trailer at Marshall and "chewin' the fat", what a nice Guy - RIP Sonny ! Bob

Staves like that are what dreams are made from! Great job removing the bow from her tomb. Great looking bow!

Thank you all for the kind words.  Bows with inner meaning to them seem to be the most special.  I'm sensing a rabbit or squirrel hunt soon with her.

I love limb bows and this one is perfect! The bows Sonny used to post in the early issues are what got my blood going at a early age. Thanks for sharing!

Talking trees. What do trees have to talk about, hmm... except the consistency of squirrel droppings?

That is a pretty little limb bow.  I love your work Matt.
