DRUID! WELCOME BACK!!! I have wondered where you have been these last few years. I'm glad to see you're doing alright and still making bows. I hope you stay and dont go again for a while. 

Your bows and photography have always been wonderful.  Sure missed seeing them.

I put plum up there with yew and Osage. Definitely one of my top string bow woods for sure.
Nice work with that.

That's a great little bow.  You sure are maximizing every inch of it.  Nice bend.  Is it for someone with a 32" draw or is that just how you anchor?

Right on!!
Really great to have you back. Your bows were some of the first I saw on here and a great inspiration. You haven't lost your touch either.

Nice bow druid. I'm going to have to find some plum. Heard lots of good things about it.
