Looks great Paul.  Im sure you wont get any bad feedback on that beauty.  The only thing I dont like about that bow is that it probably wont ever make its way to upstate NY and into my hands! >:D

I'll try to get a few pics up soon. I put 50 arrows threw her today but something just didn't feel right. She shot fine but something was off...so I made the bottom limb the top and bingo. The next 12 arrows felt like they should and she's holding her own.

Man! This is fun and different.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

I made a post with pictures of my trade bows.  When I get back from Marshall I decide which one to ship out.

Nice work guys, very nice.

Id be glad to break that bow, Pauly. But something tells me it aint breaking anytime soon. You don't get a finished bow shaped like that when its not perfectly executed by the bowyer.
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.

Here is my bow undressed. She's 65"t/t, hybrid R/D...top limb is reflexed, bottom limb is deflexed. Sort of a Homie/Mollie style...kind of!  She's pulling about 55#@26" now. I may reduce that a little. The tip overlays are water buff horn, she'll have a hemp wrapped handle with a floppy rest and some black snake skins(I think).  I put 60 arrows through her yesterday and she shoots well.
Here are a few pics...

 I think this is one of your osage staves, Clint. Probably from last year or the year before. Has nice rings.

Just got my trade bow from Gordon. I took it right outside to shoot. I like this style. Simple, but perfect. I could learn a few things from this guy about finish work. I went back to research this bow a bit on this thread. 2 piece vine maple with a perfect handle splice. O, and it's also a great shooter! Thanks Gordon.
