I couldn't have placed that wood in better hands. I knew if it could be done...you could do it!  You're an inspiration to all of us.  AWESOME BOW PAP!
Be thankfull for all you have, because no matter how bad you think it is...it can always be worse.

Don't forget where you set that down in the woods or you might mistake it for a snake and try to beat it with a stick

 :o Uhhh, I know I should say something .  Indeed I want to say something that is worthy of that bow.  There just ain't any words that do it justice!  Believe or not, I'm speechless.   Josh

Truly Awesome. I can't even imagine being able to follow that grain when drawing up the bow dimensions, let along tillering that out and making a bow. Great work Pappy.

I cannot believe the patience you must have, you must have had a lot of confidence to undertake a stave that snakey
