This one's worth a second look.Beautiful bow.Construction and finish work.You did the original justice I'd say.Funny how it's even more fun shooting when the groups get closer and closer.That still is plenty stout of a bow poundage wise.

That's one beautiful bow Bryce! You are for sure a master of the craft! I love the look of that thick sapwood contrasting with the dark heartwood! Again, great work on a  true masterpiece!

Hey wow! Thanks everyone for the positive feed back. I'm glad you all like this bad boy. Been shooting it all day, what a sight watching arrows fly off this stick.
Thanks again guys.
I really suggest reading Popes book. Very good read!

   Absolutely gorgeous!   You are truly an artist with wood. I am always looking forward to the "next piece of art" coming from your hands.

I hope the intended recipient doesn't know this was the bow you were going to send them. There likely to go out and jump in front of a speeding bear.

What a bow Bryce! I have really become a fan of the sturgeon. That's just what the Dr. ordered.

Man I'm glad I found this one. I almost missed this beauty. Great job. Love those tools and grip.
