Chris a bow that beautiful is just hard to find the right words.

[Jesse]

Man that is very nice

[BL]

The color looks great, especially on the belly pics.  At full draw all those kinks smooth out like you'd never know they are there.  Gorgeous.

I'd keep it for sure. Nice job Chris.

[Arrowind]

Very nice as usual.  I love the design.  Tiller is excellent.  Like the handle wrap.  Never get tired of that color scheme.  Very nice all the way around.

[Carson (CMB)]

That is definitely a keeper. 

Now you see what us westies are talking about!
Well done! I like it a lot!
There's a 99% chance I cut that stave, either way, your welcome

Sorry Pinecone, that is one I cut.  When Steve came shopping for a stave to send to blackhawk, I went to my private reserve.  I remember cutting it: Spring bear hunt 2012 Tillamook State Forest near Salmonberry River.  It was cut near the edge of a clearcut and had some of that yellow orange bark that happens when vine maple grows up in the sun.  There was some question as to whether this sunny vine maple was as good as the green stuff.  Well, I guess it is good enough for Chris.   

Nice work on that thing Chris.  I eyeballed that stave for quite sometime, glad it became a bow by your hands.  Nicely done
