Thanks Pappy. The recipient got the bow yesterday and loves it.   Makes a guy feel good to know one of his own has gone to a good home.  8)

Pat, gorgeous work!

I was following this from the start and noted it was 60" tt, do you have any other dimensions like the width at the fades and how fast the taper to the tips are, thickness at the fades, etc?

I really love the lines on this one and wouldn't mind attempting one that is similar.  Many thanks!

Lee, I've never been one for precise measurements and not having the bow here I can't measure it for you. Did I not have measurements at the beginning of my thread?
  As far as your earlier PM, I'll try to get some measurements of my forms for you. I've been sick for the last 3 or 4 days and haven't left the couch except to check in occasionally. As soon as I feel up to it I will get some measurements for you.
