Oooh my, what a bow - that's a piece of art. I like your style Carson and the execution is perfect, super nice decoration too and the profiles what should I say - can be done better!

SEND IT TO ME !

Congrats on an other masterpiece.

Really like the shape and style of this one. The horn on the riser is neat. Very nice work.

That is a beautiful bow!  I especially love the arrows! They look incredible.  The over shape is the nicest part to me.  Everything flows so well together.

Pappy, I only recently discovered Chad Slagle's music. Cant get enough of it.  :)
Thanks Wizardgoat, yeah, this bow was in the works for a longtime. Once I finally got it all glued up, it was smooth sailing. I am looking forward to the wizardgoat take on the BBY  :)
Thank you Simson. That is quite the compliment!
Thanks ajbruggink, hard to make bad looking arrows in black, white & silver
LittleBen, TolkienFan, the shape is the result of studying Dean Torges bamboo backed bows in his DVD, and also taking a close look at John Strunk's Bamboo backed bows.
I have to give credit to James Rempp for the horn on the handle. I saw this on a number of his bows and new there was no way I could not steal that idea at some point.  :)
Thanks Arrowind!
