Thanks Leon.  Mulberry quickly moved up near the top for me.  Small sample size with this being my first bow from it, but really like it.
Thanks Mike.  It's definitely got some muscle behind it.

Nice looking bow. Love the color of the tips...the contrast looks great on that mulberry. Also, excellent job on the handle. An all around great job.

Thanks guys. This was one I enjoyed working on as much as any I have made. Except removing the sap wood. That sucked. But from cutting this one with my buddy Curt, right up to applying the finish, this one was a joy, and somewhat effortless in a lot of ways. The results are just a reflection of that I think.

Looks like a sweet shooter to me.  I have been meaning to try mulberry.  Your finishing work is great.

Hey Bob, seem's you are on a good run  (-S excellent bow you did - she's real beauty!!! How did you deflex the stave in the handle? I checked your build along but didn't find that point...  (-_) Cheers from overseas - Simon
