Awesome!  I love it!

...I feel compelled at times to post up such stuff maybe for the inspiration to some of the novice builders who frequent these pages...

Well, it worked!  I can hardly wait to get out and find something gnarly to whittle on!

That is a fine piece of work!  Thanks for posting it!

Very nice bow, it definitely has "character". You have my vote.

Mornin' Tim,
Looks like you made good use of your snow days there... :)
Good looking bow with a lot of character. Those funky staves are a challenge but the results ( when positive ;) ) are very satisfying.  Nice job.

As always I'm in awl of your work.  I think we all should send you the nastiest piece of osage we can find just so you can create more art (eye candy) for us here.   >:D
