Very very VERY NICE!
Talking trees. What do trees have to talk about, hmm... except the consistency of squirrel droppings?

That was worth the wait  :D 

Cool bow Bill.  Looks like a smooth shooter.  I'm looking forward to seeing that one in person.  I need to find me a mulberry stave to try out.

SWEET FLIPPIN' MULBERRIES, that's one nice bow.  You had better bring that down next week if you come this way.  I'll know my schedule tomorrow and will PM you.

Really nice looking bow there! I love that dye job, assuming that's what it is. It looks like you got a nice fade in the color going out towards the tips. And speaking of the tips, do those limbs gradually taper starting at the fades or are they parallel for a ways before tapering?

Nice bow....and scales! Good work Bill.

Thanks to all for the nice words...........

kilted,
It's parallel about 8" out of the fades, gradually tapers until about 10" from the tips then a faster taper to the 1/4" wide nocks.

Sounds good hedge.............

Thanks again all,
DBar
