Congratulations to Keenan for His January Self BOM Win

Keenan Howard's (Bend, Oregon) Halibut Skin Backed Yew Flat Bow
is January's Self Bow of the Month
http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/index.php/topic,17062.0.html

This from Keenan:
This bow has been a long slow journey. I started back in 2008 and posted a few sneak peak pics of the stave and roughed out bow. Due to multiple surgeries this one had been set aside several times. Though its heavy for me now I hope to be able to work back up to the draw weight eventually. I had a hard time hitting full draw but tried to get close for the pic. So here she is.
This is a Yew flat bow with Halibut skin and waterbuffalo horn tips. It is 60" tip to tip and is 64# at 25".
Thank you for the vote of confidence.

There's a lot of praise for this bow. This is just a sample:
-"That is one beautiful bow,  Your finish work is outstanding!  ...it was WELL worth the wait.  Peace!"     josh
-"That is one VERY NICE bow!!!!!" half eye
-"Hey that hallibut skin is some good looking stuff. Great lookin bow.Ron" cracker
-"Anyhow...beautiful bow, that skin has a great steely look to it, great contrast with the wood, lovely clean simple lines.
Nocks match in nicely too. I'm jelly-ous" Del the Cat
-"Absolutely stunning.  I love that you left the skin shy of the edge, makes a beautiful contrast.  And that nock is the cleanest looking one I've seen yet.  Keep em coming!" zenmonkeyman
-"Dang Keenan, there you go raising the bar on us again. The skin job is superb, but that tip picture keeps drawing me back in. The lines are perfect and I can't find a flaw anywhere. You out did yourself buddy." Gordon

Does the name Keenan Howard sound familiar? He won BOM for Aug/Sept 2005, Dec 2005, and tied in April tie in 2009
