Very nice job on that one, I believe your title says it best.  :) :)  Got it bookmarked for November Self BOM contest as well.  Looks like it will be a great contender!  :)

Oh and I think it is cool how you made a hole in the snake skin to accommodate the knot in one of the limbs. Pretty cool.   :)

That is one serious character!  And you must be some character, too.  After all, your nickname on here is Ms Pink.   >:D

Keep up the good work!

There should be a new BOM category called "Character bow" :)

I know that this a fine line...BUT...Not a bad idea...

I personally don't like the idea.  If we do that then someone else will want a board bow category and someone else will think it is unfair to not have a horn bow category and then someone will want a recurve category and pretty soon you will have so many categories there will only be one bow per category.  This is just a friendly contest anyway no sense in making it any more complicated.  Character bows are self bows (usually  ;D ) I think things should stay as they are.   :)

Agree Josh, plus how would you determine what gets put in.....what if a stave has one knot- would it qualify?  Categories work as they are  IMO ;)

Well done Character bows often more than hold their own in BOM contests too.  It's not like they struggle to win in the catergory where they are at.  JMO
