Thanks for the nice words. This bow should be reaching its final home today or maybe tomorrow. I hope we get some pictures in the new owner's hands.

You will get some pictures Jeff.  Probably not tonight but soon.  I love this bow. It is a wonderful piece of art that I already treasure. Thank you.

Mike, you have no idea how happy it makes me to hear you are pleased with that bow, and that it puts a smile on your face.
I am also still enjoying the bow MikeKeswick sent me last year. The workmanship on that one was a real inspiration, so compliments from him and others, whose work I admire really means a lot to me.

I'm going to call this bow "Marvelous Johnson".  Jeff had I known that wood hid that much potential and character I'd a kept it for myself. You did a fantastic job with a mediocre stave. Congratulations to you both for a job well done

Fred I have often wondered if this is the kind of stave you are willing to give away--what exactly is the standard for staves you keep to yourself?  Please let me know if you are ever in the mood to do some trading for another of your "B" staves.

Actually, I still owe steve b for that stave. He was kind enough to send it to me a couple three years ago for a future promise of elm off of my property. Shortly after that my health went south and I have not honored my commitment. Hopefully this Fall or next Spring I will be able to fulfill my end of the bargain. I hope he doesn't mind a mixture of 3 or 4 at a time.

Jeff,  your first Osage also came from Fred. As well as mine, and Tykes. Fred is a good guy. He has helped out a lot of us new guys.

I still shoot that bow now and then.  It is in good shape and keeps getting prettier with age.  Fred helped me find my draw knife too.--he has been a great help to a lot of people.  I hope I can shoot with him sometime.
