Good job, Gordon. A work of art as usual.  ;)

Elegant.  Thumbsup.
... alone in distant woods or fields, in unpretending sproutlands or pastures tracked by rabbits, even in a bleak and, to most, cheerless day .... .  I suppose that this value, in my case, is equivalent to what others get by churchgoing & prayer.  Hank Thoreau, 1857

Elegant lines as usual, the grain really pops, very nice.

Gordon, another classy bow from a classy guy!  Your workmanship is top flight stuff, attention to fine tillering all the way to the final finishing. That bow is a pleasure to see, and I can only assume from the profile and the tiller that the shooting is everything the look of the bow promises. 

Thanks for raising the bar!

That looks like the ticket for hunting the summer 3D shoots to me.  Cant wait to see it this weekend. 
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

Hey Weylin, thanks for the compliment. I look forward to showing it to you and seeing your excellent takedown yew bow. See you soon!

Thank you Matt, I sure do appreciate your comments.

Thank you lesken, your nice words are always appreciated.

Thank you Knoll.

Thank you Bob, I much appreciate it.

Thank you bow101. I do like how the contrast between the heartwood and sapwood with this wood.

Hey JW, what a nice compliment. Thank you!

Thank you Don for your nice words.

I never thought of it that way Carson but your are right - this bow will make a fine 3D hunter. See you soon!

Stunner as always Gordon. Would recognise your work in a 100 bows.

We cannot bow hunt over here yet I keep making 50lb+ bows that I cannot shoot at the expense of my limbs.
My next bows will all be around the same poundage as that although not as nice  :laugh:

And nice hat, by the way, real Jäger-style  8)

Beautiful and clean Gordon.  I've got a piece of that wood I'm thinking of moving on the summer.  How would you say it compares with Yew?

Very nice bow Gordon. I love the clean appearance of your work.
