Very nice.  Good to see your dad still has an interest in archery.  Mine lost all interest when I fairly young and his old Lemonwood bow now sits on my rack

This one really catches my eye... the shape is graceful and the tiller is a thing of beauty. Thank for sharing this!

Like Gabe said, very graceful shape and tiller, plus killer finish work as well. Your Dad must be beaming with pride Carson.

The bow is a true work of art on its own. The story behind it just makes me like it more! I hope this bow helps him along in his recovery and for many years to come.

Thanks Tillstave
Thanks Gun Doc
Thanks paliouy
He has been shooting it almost everyday. He is still building his strength up. He told me yesterday that he had a dream he was able to get it back to full draw with ease and was putting them all right in the center.  :) :) :)

That is a beautiful bow Carson.  I couldn't help but notice that it sits at the top of his collection in the bow rack photo.   Awesome work and I am sure he treasures it.
