Great looking bow! That's my style lately. You don't need anything else but a piece of osage to make a great bow

Thanks so much everyone. I'm really kinda surprised by all the kind words. It's nice to see I'm not the only one who sees the beauty in a stick like this.

I think one of the main reasons we all love this one so much is that it exemplifies exactly what many of us hoped to achieve when we first got hooked by the craft... a simple, hard-hitting bow that holds its profile and remains capable of putting meat on the table for years to come.

Remember, unless you are mass producing for the uninformed public, your best work will largely go by unnoticed. But when people that are well versed in the craft look at your work and compliment you...yeah, well, you are working in another dimension now. Your work is recognized, sir.
Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.

Thanks JW. You guys are making me blush. I know one thing for sure. There's a bunch of other guys on here that are in the same or higher category and without their generously sharing their time and knowledge I'd still be the uniformed public.
My sincerest thanks to all of you.

Thanks Stix. I think you and I like a lot of the same "looks". Really enjoyed visiting and working with you in the Pavilion at Marshall this year.

Thanks 240m3srt. Still surprised people are still commenting on this bow.
Thanks everyone
