Another very nice bow.Nice poundage out of that too.Low set.Nice.You're busier than a beaver there or at least you've been busy in the past.Seems like you got most of the woods around you I've got here.I've been keeping my eye out for some good dogwood for a bow here too.We got the gray leaf and the redtwig here.I quess you're supposed to treat it about like hickory.I really like hickory.Seems like it is not quite long enough for me here most times,but I'll keep looking.

Wow, nice bow, nice finish and looks to be very well crafted with good attention to detail as well. What are the specs as far as length, draw weight, etc? Nice job.
