The last one on my list, got the handle wrap and string done just now. This one is 52lb@28", 66" n/n, same woods as #2. I see from the pic that the outer half of the bottom limb looks a little flat, I think it'll be OK though. This one is for a guy who teaches archery safety, I think it'll be mostly for display. His grandson already has one of my backed bows from last year, I hear he shoots it all the time. That makes me really happy.

The last pic is all three BBOs side by side. It'll be the last time they are together, tomorrow they are going to the far corners of Hannibal MO.

That's a fine looking set of bows. You're going to make some folks really happy with those.

Very nice Lennie. Haven't seen a bow of yours on here in a little while

I definitely go in spurts, only working when the urge strikes. Plus there's been duck season, I'm training a Lab so I felt the need to get her out as much as possible. I have a new student coming tonight who wants to learn how to make bows. That ought to give me a reason to stay in the shop.

Hmmm, what was the name of that other guy from Hannibal, MO?

Oh well, it will come to me
Nice bows, TS. Got all three now bookmarked for DEC Backed BOM.

Auggie, I still have close to ten gallons of homebrew, but I'm going to make another dark beer very soon. That stuff tastes good even during cold weather.

Great trio of bows Lennie. Its going to make voting for BOM real confusing.

You're always welcome you guys, seriously. Come up, work on bows, spend the night if you want. My rule is, as long as at least one person works on a bow then no matter how much beer gets drank its a bowyers event.

Justin, its easy just vote for somebody else's bow. Thats what I'll be doing.

I like the way you think Lennie.

Nice bows.
