That looks sweet Greg.

So far so good, Greg.

Got my young kids donation bow braced. Still needs some tweaking before I start pulling. Added some horn tip overlays. Decided I'm going to make at least one complete set up for a little kid. Gonna include a half a dozen arrows and a quiver of some sort. I'd like whichever kid wins it they have everything they need to go fling some arrows

The whole enchilada for some lucky youngster, thats the spirit.  Can't wait to see the face of the kid who gets that set, very thoughtful of you Paul.

Finished with this one and heres a few pictures. The pictures aren't the best, camera won't function outside in natural light so had to snap 'em indoors again. I'm pleased with how it turned out, shoots real smooth and nice.

-elm selfbow
-58.5" ntn
-32# @ 26"
-tung oil finish over earth pigment dry rubbed into wood
-dyed deer skin handle wrap w/art sinew lace over leather arrow rest
- 8 strand ff string

Hope to see everyone at the Elm Hall gathering late summer.
