That is definitely a beautiful bow. I just love the different wood contrast! Well done Mike, you sure knocked that one out of the park! Patrick

Building a bow has been the most rewarding, peaceful, and frustrating things I have ever made with my own two hands!

I would give 4 hickory nuts for a bow like that!  Might even throw in a few pecans and a couple walnuts!   >:D Patrick

Spent some more time with it this afternoon.  I like more each time I shoot it. At 44#  I can really focus on my form--and just to rub things in--it didn't cost me any hickory nuts at all.

This is the bow I recorded from Jo Jo, I told him originally I didn't have the heart to string it due to some cracking noises once it was together and flexed. He said no problem he would make it right. I declined and he said he would surprise me. I honestly don't care about the bow or joes craftsmanship. I gave him an honest opinion. That's not what it was about. It's what it got turned into. The way the trade is closing just doesn't sit right with me, but I'll eat that. I was asked to show pictures of the finished bow, I don't have any full draw, I can try and take a pic of the profile once I'm out of work. I have no hard feelings for anyone involved in the slight hub bub.

Thanks Bruce. I don't have hard feelings either! Your replacement will be worth the wait.
