So.. Where's your wife's wedding band/ring? LOL.
Joking, that's a mighty fine bow from my perspective, worked with Guava once, a stave full of knots that still proportioned me with a great bow, it'a awesome flexible wood.

Thanks everyone!  We will be having more fun with it in the future. In a few months I will make her one closer to 35 lbs.

 Knotty, We both just came in from a surf, The beach is just at the end of the dirt road pictured. We both take em off when we surf so we don't donate them to the fish gods.
