 Great looking bow Greg!  Where do you cut your buckthorn?

Thanks again everyone, the wife is pleased that you all approve of her new bow. :)

Cody' A friend gave me this buckthorn, two larger diameter logs that I got 6 staves from. I know places where this stuff grows like crazy
         just have to find out how to get permission to cut some or if you want I'll swing by and pick you up to be my look out while I do a
         midnight raid. ;)
         I'm really liking this wood and would have never tried it until I saw what you were building from it.

Nice work Greg.  I like the subtle paint highlights at those tips.  Looks like you made her happy.

You made a bow out of another gnarly piece of wood!  I like those bone nocks.  I am gonna have to try that.  Lots of character on that stave.  Great looking bow Greg.
