Syringa Gull Wing bow (Not the buildalong)

[BryanB]

Really nice bow.  Great work form a "troubled" stave.
I have walked by Syringa a few times in my life without paying much attention.
Next time I will have my saw handy.  Love the pithy grove.

  Thanks Brian,  This is a different bow then the buildalong that has been the real challenge.  But that one is almost done as well. Keenan

 Been shooting this one some more and loving it. At first I wasn't sure how I'd like it because I prefer shorter bows but this smooth draw and better accurracy is real apealing. I made this one for a guy's B-day and wanted to shoot it in some more befor giving it but now I'm wondering if I should start on another similar to it.   Keenan
 Syringa is starting to grow on me. Atfirst I didn't like the fact that there is not much character in the grain at all but stained it looks great and the pith groves do grow on you as well. Keenan

Keenan,

                    Is Syringa "Mock orange"??

[Keenan]

 Brian , Yes however I know there are several varioties. Take a look at the syringa arrow buildalong the Juniper Junky did in the buildalongs. He posted some pics of what it looks like as well as a discription, Good luck Brian  Keenan
