Really like this one. Very good looking bow and the full draws speaks volumes, exceptional tiller. That's a piece of work to be proud of!

That bow looks fantastic!  Did you remove the heartwood or am I seeing things?   :)

thanks everybody, nice to know you like it.  ;D Jackcrafty: I did not have to remove anything, these grow hollow by nature. Beadman: I hope you find one, everyone that has used elderberry is delighted. They grow decent here, not trees, but big enough for many bows. I attached you a pic of one just next to my house.

simple and very cool and clean.  I like that style alot.  Also, that is a nice picture at full draw with the winter snow all around.  I don't know what is going on here in Kansas, but it seems like our winters are disapearing.  Keep up the good work my man.
same here... i just wish it would snow already, but to get back on topic i love that bow
