Nice clean lines, and the contrast is eye catching.

Hi Barney, That's really sweet.
The Silver Birch chopping block is rather stylish too O:).
Can't wait to see her at full draw.

Beautiful bow Barney. Can't wait to see the full draw pics.
-
that's real sweet. It's like a real nice cake, you don't want to eat it (or in this case shoot it), but just look at it.
-
Impressive looking bow, and quite original design, would love to try it out.
-
Now THAT'S what I'm talking about!!! What a beautiful bow I really want to try my hand in making one of those... How long is the build time on one of those from start to finish including drying times? That thing is awesome, I cant wait to see the draw pics on it. You really did a wonderful job. :)

thats one sweet bow.

Beautiful work,very nice,how dose it shoot ? :)

Thanks for the remarks.
The bow shoots fast (especially with light arrows). It took about 8 months to make, though most of that was waiting for the sinew to cure. I'll post some draw pics in a couple of weeks (I'm in Portugal at present).
I'm photographing the build of the next one and will put up a build along when complete
regards,
Barney

Barney, that is an exquisite bow. Wow, what beautiful lines and laminations. I'll bet it shoots smooth and fast. I know how hard these are to build, and you did a great job.
