I think I'm starting to realize just how much I like hickory.  You did a fine job with that one, Josh, I'm sure it will be a workhorse.

Oldbow, thank you so much for the compliments on my bow but I cannot accept nomination for Dec.  BOM for two reasons.

A.  It is a laminate and
B.  It is in the Nov. drawing.

I know you probably just overlooked this with so many entries,  and I thank you for all the work you put into the BOM contest every month.      :)  -josh

Howdy Josh,

Hey, you did a real nice job on the tillering of this bow; smooth, even curves on the limbs.

(My bows' limbs usually turn out with more hinge in 'em.)  Good for you, and thanks for sharing.

All the Best,
Canoe

Luke, I used TB III for this one.  I really wish I would have used my Urac instead because I have a bad habit of leaving my bows in my truck during the summer and I heard that TB III fails at 130 degrees...  Oh well. 

Thanks, JesseS.   :)
