Great job Bub.  Looks like such a sweet little thing.  Some of the bows that turn out looking simply beautiful are anything but simple in the beginning.  Love the D bows :)

Nice bow Bubby! I have yet to see one of pauls selfbows that was not full of cracks! He's a crack addict. ;D  They do shoot nice though. ;)

You've proven that there is hope for a stave that's been laying in my garage.

Nice stick Bubby!  Looks like you wrangled a nice even bend out of it.

Nice job bub 8)  Just remembered you texted me I pic a few days ago and I forgot to reply.  That bow is sweet and glad you found it in there. Don't be scared of checks, I don't have a stave without them.

Nice work bub,  looks like one of those pieces that require a little thought to wrangle a bow out of. I've seen quite a bit of Paul's osage this year and some nice bows made from it as well. Nice character in the stuff he's cut.
