Dang - What could I add that hasn't been said? I agree with Paul - I'd recognize one of Your bows anywhere. GREAT bow, and as always the tiller is spot on. Really like that one Greg.

Another charmer Greg! Sweet finish work as usual. Nothing wrong with that bend either my friend.

Great color combination, handle wrap, and tiller. I have just started using cork myself on handles. Versatile and cheap.

  Ditto all the good stuff said above. I really enjoy seeing real primitive bows still showing up here.

Just beautiful! I like that really primitive style of your bows Greg. Your Buckthorn bows are a special number, too. Can't forget Miss gnarly Carla. This one is also top notch. I like your art job, elegant, not too much and always done with natural materials.

BTW. after searching for years, I found now Buckthorn in my region (very rare here). I harvested 4 staves last December.

Thanks again for all the kind comments gang, I really appreciate the feedback from you all.  :)  Gonna now start on a couple bows from some wood other than buckthorn that have been waiting around the shop for their turn.  ;)
Have some black locust thats a year old now, a red elm stave from blackhawk and some osage & hackberry from Paul
I need to get after. Plus some arrows for some springtime shooting, just in case spring decides to show up around here. :)  We're supposed to get even more snow here tonight. >:(
