Good job, Greg! She looks real happy with it too!!
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.

 Great looking bow Greg!  Where do you cut your buckthorn?

Thanks again everyone, the wife is pleased that you all approve of her new bow. :)

Cody' A friend gave me this buckthorn, two larger diameter logs that I got 6 staves from. I know places where this stuff grows like crazy
         just have to find out how to get permission to cut some or if you want I'll swing by and pick you up to be my look out while I do a
         midnight raid. ;)
         I'm really liking this wood and would have never tried it until I saw what you were building from it.

Nice work Greg.  I like the subtle paint highlights at those tips.  Looks like you made her happy. 
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
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

You made a bow out of another gnarly piece of wood!  I like those bone nocks.  I am gonna have to try that.  Lots of character on that stave.  Great looking bow Greg.
