I'm not sure what I like the best...bow, chair, or the fireplace!  :)  I think the bow, with the fireplace a close second. Great job. ;)

Mighty fine lookin' weapon, nice curves. That looks like some of that good red osage, too. I have several of those "project between projects" sitting around tha I hack at now and then.

Gorgeous lines.  I'm a 26" draw too and I'd love to pull back on that.

The bigger question is...When do we get to see a Build Along for a one piece recurve like yours?...   :'(

Excellent work and I LOVE the fireplace too!

I think that bow is way too ugly for you to own.  I think you need to send it to me...immediately! ;)
