You should build bows more often.  That thing is amazing.  Great job.

Man, that looks great John! Hmmm, do you like big rattlesnakes? I hope the next one I build turns out that nice - if I ever do ::). I miss seeing your knapping - your good! Hope you get back into posting some of that purty quick :).

Bowhunting is a passion, not an obsession. Its just hard for my wife to tell the difference sometimes.
