Thanks fellas!  Steve- I'm planning on making the classic, but I won't be sure if I'll make it until I pull in the drive.
raghorns- I will have to measure it when i get home next weekend.  I think this one might be longer than 60" now that I think about it.  I believe this one might be "63 .  My memory ain't  real good. 
Tracy- I don't usually do much knapping in the winter.  So I'll get back to it when it warms up.  I don't have much luck working cold stone.
Thanks again everybody!  Josh

Just what the Doctor ordered!  There is something so very pure and sweet about that design, especially when the tiller is so fine!  Atta boy, you done went and done good!

Just beautiful, Josh, just beautiful.

Sweeet bend on that little woodland bow.  8)
"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

Thanks for the kind words every one!  I really do appreciate your opinions on my humble  sticks.  Or in trucker speak, "I appreciate the flowers!".  Just something we say when payed a fine compliment.
Traxx- I certainly cant speak for anyone else, but for me the more utilitarian and plain the bow, the more it stirs that little primal part of my soul that most people never discover within themselves.  I can appreciate the effort, talent and attention to detail that the fancy ones require, but it is a completely different part of me that appreciates it.  If that makes any sense at all.
Anyway, thanks again,   Josh
