Wow!! Compliments comming in from coast to coast and all in between overnight! I really appreciate you guys - inspiration piled on top of inspiration, ya'll know that's going to cause me to build another one, and another, and........ :)


 Sorry Justin, me and you were posting at the same moment: I'm thinking she needs to bend a little more around the fades. The paint job I noticed in the last PA magazine and kinda took a liking to.
 Hey Sparky - man I knew you were lurking around out there, prechiate the hands on help at OJAM! that kinda gave me a kick start even though I screwed up that peice of Osage.
  All you other bow building veteran's - thanks!

Good looking bow, you did good with the hickory.

Nice blue agave too, wish I could grow mine outside.

You've made a dandy...from your own "kilt wood, no less" We'll look at it again May 31 for May Self Bow of the Month.

Man I can't wait to get another one finished so I can soak some more of this up - it's like high five's all around!  ;D  ;D
  Thank's Lennie, David, Eddie, Venisonburger!!! Oldbow, ya know I wasn't even thinking about that just wanted to show my wares (well maybe a little ;D) maybe I'll call it the self kilt bow, ha ha. Jawge - man I've seen you make a lot of comments about a little more bend around the fades so I've been paying particular attention to that area (sometimes I hear voices - naw ;D) but if you like - I sure like it, will shoot for bout the same on the next no bendy handle.
  Man Sparky - I'll be hooking up with ya. Git on back home.

Yessir Dick! will do - I'd love to get back with you and Vinson sometime. That's actually a Century plant in the garden, they look a lot like aloe, and agave, and yucca, and others - never have gotten an answer on where they get their name though. Yalper great big ole cholesterol filled brown eggs, he he. But I love em, got lots of Rhode Island reds but that's a sex link - they can be sexed when they hatch by their color  :-\.

Hey Paul, the Century Plant is an Agave. It gets it's name because it blooms after 100 years(MOL) then dies. Usually it puts out "pups" that you can transplant elsewhere.     Pat
