"By golly she's a good 'un. I gotta know how you get what appears to be no more than 2", if that, of boo on boo to do a 75 degree bend and store 60# of draw weight.  Don't generally see that without some horn or sinew or both.  Good on ya.  Real fine work and thanks for posting." - DCM
"Doesn't get any better that that!  Amazing workmanship" -jackcrafty
"I love it! just like your last bow, it made me jump back, scream out, break my neck twice, and just getting back on my chair to say 'wow'!" -nickf
" That bow is simply amassing to say the least.Your finish work is excellent and the relaxed,braced and especially full draw just made my wife drool. First thing she said was "I want one like that"..     Thanks a lot   I'll forgive you if you send me the bow and I can tell her I made it  Again awesome job on one heck of a fine bow"-  Keenan
And Congratulations to David Knight of Hickory, North Carolina
for This Bamboo backed Bamboo Belly R/D Bow
http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/index.php/topic,12677.0.htmlThis is the first bamboo back and belly R/D that I have done so I thought I would share it with you guy's.. It is 62"NTN 42#. Starting at the back of the bow through the handle the lams are Bamboo,Ipe,Osage,Ipe (core), Rose wood and hickory.. The tips are Osage and Kings wood with a small wedge of Osage under the boo...When I put those lams in the riser I new they would look ok but it turned out better than expected..  It is sweet to shoot. Dead quiet with no hand shock..
"That looks like some fast bow to me..." -medicinewheel
"OMG...what an ugly, out of tiller, a$$ backwards piece of trash!!  You need to send that bow to me immediately so I can do you a favor and dispose of it properly!  I can hardly even look at it....YUK!  By the way, my address is...  " -billy

  I got to see both bows and  you guy's deserve this honor.

D. Tiller:
Yep! Me too. Those were some really nice bows. Those tips on James bow where just incredible and must be super light being made from Spanish Cedar!

Way to go guys!!!

Keenan:
 Well that's a pure joy to see. I was having a heck of a time deciding between those and they are both incredible bows. Congratulations to you both.
