Very nice bow, Keenan. The contrasts between the yew, halibut skin and buff tips is outstanding.
  You look like it is a bit stiff for ya. I can feel your pain!  ;)

 Thanks EL D I do still have those small skins for you but waiting on some big ones ::)

Thanks Pat. Yes it is a bit much for me.  Most the damage is low back and nerves to the leg, not sure I will ever be back where I was but this gives me a target. ::)

Thank you adb.

Thank Eddie. I tend to like contrast as well.  As far as getting off the butt and finishing projects,,,,,,that's my reselution ::)

 Thank you Dano.

Keenan...just remember...You have to push yourself.....but you have to find your limits too...I am still struggling with my Injuries 17 years later...and having to press myself to keep Mobility....I know my Brother and Mother are still recovering from Their Back Surgeries...My Mom's was 10 years ago...but then She is now 70 ...and my Brothers was 2 years ago....and He is still only back to work part time...can't be on His feet for 10 hours a day....He had L4 and 5 Discs replaced through His Belly...still has pain and Numbness down his one Leg...and weakness too.so remember to push it to your limit...only You know when it's too much.......and I still love that Bow......... :o

Funny...I'm sure I'd posted a reply, but it isn't here.
Anyhow...beautiful bow, that skin has a great steely look to it, great contrast with the wood, lovely clean simple lines.
Nocks match in nicely too. I'm jelly-ous

Absolutely stunning.  I love that you left the skin shy of the edge, makes a beautiful contrast.  And that nock is the cleanest looking one I've seen yet.  Keep em coming!

 Thank you all for the nice compliments;

 Ryano; Thanks for the encouragement but I think I'm slipping some.  The eyes aren't what they used to be and it seems everytime I lay a tool down it takes me 30 minutes to remember where I put it.  ::)

 John Thank you, This is one that you saw when you came over,,,Remember?
