Great job Brian. That bow came out really nice. Love the name, too.

That's a great looking bow BJ.  I'm glad I got to see it in person. 
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

Thanks Slimbob. I know Simson and Druid got a couple dandies. Thought they might like a little friendly competition. I thought I had my profile pictures all resized but I can't get them to post. I'll try to get them up as soon as I can.

What are you talking Brian, no chance to compete with your bow. You did great, profiles and finish are top notch - I like it very much and I'm pretty sure make the race. Would like to work some day with HHB, we have only some similar woods here in Germany.
Again, awesome work. Good to have more entries in BOM.

nice bow.  Seems like every bow you make is better than the last.

Thanks Jerry And Pat

Kyle I'm feeling so blessed now that we were able to sneak in our sugarbeets, corn and soybeans. We worked really hard at it when we had the chance. A lot never got a chance yet. It's been raining and wet here again but I just took my dad out to see if the last field of beets I planted came up and it looks like it's going to. Still a little cold for the corn and soy yet. Hopefully everyone else can get crop in soon.

Thanks Eric. It sure feels like its tillered good.

Thanks Steve I always feel more attached to them when they tell me their name.

Was great to see you Clint. Wish it could have been for longer. Would've liked to shoot the coarse with you. Hope everything went well for your daughters graduation.

Thanks WillB

Simson ThankYou so much for all the inspiration you have given me and so many others. You do such fine work and I very much respect your opinion. I truly would love to meet you and make some shavings together some day.

Thanks Jeff. I think that's because I'm still learning.

Thanks everyone for looking

Hey bj, that's one killer bow. It's pretty obvious you needed very very strong medicine. Hope the skies have cleared up again - also here in europe we had lotsa rain and there was snow on begin of may. Still there is hope and the first summerdays are predicted for the weekend. Wish you a good planting season! cheers

BJ that bow is a stunner, everything about it really speaks to me from the static tips to the bendy handle to the grouse tip overlays. Bows like this one are what inspire me and are where I want my designs to end up.

Nice bow and well named. 

Burnt Offering is the first bow I heat-treated and wrote about for PA in early 2000, it was an Elm recurve

Well done

Thanks Don, I remember seeing a few really nice bendies you've done.

Simk this is strong medicine for me. I'd be going crazy without it. You can really see people starting to get depressed and grumpy from all this rainy weather. The sun did come out for awhile today though and my sugarbeets actually kinda like this yecky weather. Best of Luck with your country's planting season to.

NZnuka im honored that you are inspired by my bow. I understand as I have been inspired by so many others. ThankYou sir.

Airkah ThankYou, I hope your working on another of your creations. I'm looking forward to seeing it.

Marc Thanks. I didn't realize that was the name you gave that Elm bow. It almost seems impossible, but I think I remember hearing that bow shot something like 245 fps? I would never have been able to heat treat it like that without inspiration from you. It really did perk up a already perky bow.
