And lastly, Josh?  Nice candidate for BOM, huh?

Took the words right outta my mouth, JW!  Man this bow is fantastic.  Tiller and finish work on it are outstanding! You are a lucky man Keenan, I know I would be proud to carry that fine weapon through the woods.  :)  Nice work and great entry for November Self BOM contest.   :)

Incredibly done bow Blacktail!  I agree with Gordon, you have come a long way. (I hope one day I will produce something as nice).  Keenan to have someone think of you that highly speaks volumes to your character. Enjoy!!!  (awesome full draw pic btw).

 John, as others have said, your skills have really come along way. I remember a while back, a thread that you had posted about "when your able to be considered a bowyer"  Well John, I've looked at a fair amount of bows over the years and I want you to know, that this bow will hold it's own with any of them out there.  I will carry it proudly.  Congratulations on such a fine accomplishment my "Bowyer"  friend.  ;)

Nice bow and before my time is up I either want some yew to make a bow or I would except  a gift or trade for one.  Yew is very unique and makes a perty bow!  Great bow and what a gesture!!!  Congrats!!!
