The bark on the back looks great, truly elegant. I expected it to look much rougher when I saw the stave.
A fine bow, great work!

That came out very well. Something about your handle really catches my eye.

 Just beautiful all around. Great bend and looks like a smooth shooter too, very impressive to my eyes!

Well shoot, you guys are an easy crowd  ;) I really do appreciate all the kind words, but y'all build bows out of tricky woods like Osage and Elm and Walnut for pete's sake. Plum is a wlak in the park.  ::) ::)

I do have a low elevation yew shorty (ish) stave in the works. We'll see how that turns out, but don't hold your breath.

Thanks everybody, this place is the best!
