Ryan that bow is a beauty but the background in that picture is what does it for me :o

Hi,  Here are some photos of me and my current favorite.  It happens to be the first bow I ever made from a stave.  It didn't really turn out that well, but I recently took it out of the closet , retillered it and heat treat the belly.   Now I like it!m/albums/cc270/May-Pumphrey/2009-01-18045.jpg[/IMG]

One of my favorite bows is my hickory-backed lemonwood bow with walnut handle.  For me, it represents many design aspects that I've been trying to accomplish.  From the handle design to the tips and tiller, I felt I did most things right.

No pictures available at the moment, but there's some on my webpage if you search around (keyword: lemonwood). I wrote a PA article about it that has better pictures, so you can see it there.
