That looks like a shooter with a nice curvy profile. You turn out some good locust bows Russ.
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.

If I had built a locust bow like that it would have fretted from tip to tip.  ::)  Well done! The full draw shows a beautiful profile.  8)

That is beautiful! I really like the good finish on it and it's simplicity combined with good workmanship. I can't hardly wait to start making shavings on a couple of nice staves that are drying here in my house :)
Great work for sure.

I got to help shoot this one in a couple weeks ago....it's a dandy. Nice finish work Russ. I'm sure the new owner will love it.

Almost every locust bow I have made over the years have fretted. Locust and ash are my nemesis.
