This ones been done for a while now but I'm pretty lazy about posting any of my work these days. I made her for my father as a Christmas prestent, and I will get a picture up of him drawing the bow as soon as I can. Made from the sister split of another bow I posted on here, 'October', and is also completely free of knots. Backed with western diamondback skins, yew and horn tip overlays, and a tortoise shell strike plate. 59" ntn and pulls 54# at 27" and like its sister, held on to a good amount of its reflex. The last picture is of the two bows side by side showing off their matching wiggles and knot free limbs.

 Very nice dan, your bows just get better and better. Those tips are abosolutly beautifull. and i like the originality on the handle wrap. Should be a good contender for the BOM.         Keenan

I really love the looks of your bows Dan. You have some serious talent. Hopefully I will get to see some of your work personally at MoJam. You going to be their this year? I saw your Penobscot and a few others a couple of years ago, needless to say I was impressed.

Every father son team should have a matching set of bows.  ;D Good work and excellent bow. Justin
