Side view of hedge handle with red hedge lines showing deflexed grain.I just went off of that with a half form of blackhawks on each limb and that was it.Easy/Peazy.

Zion....The rings were chasable even being a diffused pourus wood.That stave I think had about 12 to 15 rings per inch.

Two sweet bows you have there. The unbraced pics look like they are just begging to be strung. Great job.

Nice curves on both bows...unstrung and full drawn!!

Thanks JonW....I tried to keep her stiff in the outer limbs without losing my front profile taper.
Dvshunter...Thanks.I should get to Mojam with no problem.See if I can get someone to do my dog chores.Might get there early and take the teepee.
Thanks lesken2011...They are fun to shoot.
There are so many other excellent bow makers out there seems everyone at times has sweet looking bows to show.I'm just trying to keep up a little bit.

Those are both really sweet looking bows and also look like real shooters to boot. I'd bet they are both smooth and fast performers. Tillers
on both just look like they are storing a good amount of energy ready to be released. Nice finish work as well Beadman.
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.

I've got to do the picture sending thing enough times in a row to remember easily how it's done.I'm not one to have these techy devices in my pocket going off.Used to have em when I was married and that was ok,but nowadays I've drifted away from it.In fact a lot of times I think it's rude how at family gatherings some people can be in their own world oblivious to what's going on around them.I'm all for it in a business sense.Just my opinion that's all.
Thanks for the support about the bows.

Nice rig Ed! Love that reflex.
