   Well deserved Swampman...Mike makes excellent bows !...I think the bend and balance are class A, and those scallops are gorgeous...The unstrung profile speaks for itself...Looks like a museum piece...I'm jealous...

This bow does truly look like a museum piece but it really belongs in the woods.  It throws an arrow very accurately and hard.  I feel very fortunate to be able to carry this bow in the woods!

Very nice.  The bow is well tillered, not too much bend in the middle.

Very nice bow, and a great gift!  I like the diamond tips and overall design!

It's like looking at Pop's bow that survived the Seminole Wars, minus the sinew.  It's like looking back in time.

Thanks fellas!   Hope it gives you many years of good service Mike.

Ed...Not sure if you can or would but maybe consider posting that bow or the dimensions along with any of the history behind it. I know I would find that very interesting and I bet others would here as well.

Thanks,
Mike

That bow looks like it belongs in the woods.  The tips look great on this bow.  Looks like a compass was used to do the tillering.  A perfect arc to my eye.  A great build IMO.

I just looked at the arrow you are using there--it looks awful familiar. . .
