That is a beautiful and very well made bow. The copper head skin color is definitely "unique". Really nice job all around! ;)

You mentioned that this bow represented many firsts for you, brownhillboy. Well this bow is just stunningly beautiful from stem to stern. The tiller, too, is outstanding. Congratulations! Jawge

a fine effort, one of my all time favorite designs.

Ditto everyone, here. You've got to be proud of this one. Bookmarked, of course, for Feb Self Bow of the Month voting.

Thanks guys...and Okie1, I'm with you, I think they're a little harder to make but worth the effort.  By the way, your osage recurve is very beautiful too.

I wanted to thank everyone for their nice comments.  It makes you feel good when your friends and family compliment you on your work, but it's even better when people that know what they're looking at and can appreciate what you have put into something acknowledge what you have done.  Thanks again, Brad.
