a great looking bow. I would have gone with a shorter handle area, but it has no effect on the performance since it is a bend through bow. all in all very neat.

Great looking bow Gordon. I didn't know you could make an unbacked vine maple bow that short. Greg

Fine looking bow, Gordon.  Would be a dandy for hunting blacktails, I'd think.

I really enjoy seeing your vine maple bows. And this one is super. Been trying to get my family members who still live in Washington state to send me some vine maple, but none yet. :'(

Hi
is there, on the internet, an explanation of how to make the Strunk style handle wrap?

I'd like to put one on my bow.
Thank you.

Another beauty by Gordon, and , as I posted elswhere, "I think I am in love with the handle wrap/work."

One of the Full Draw pics has also been posted on my TBD pages (Page 15), and I couldn't resist includng a "click on" link to a pic of the handle  :D.

Another beautiful bow as always! (of course I also have a preference for vinemaple... lol) I have to ask what you used to get that color on this bow...  brand and color, if you don't mind.

Of course this now has me staring at my staves again... lol
