BEAUTIFUL! Bows birds N all!
"The way of heaven is like the bending of a bow-
 the upper part is pressed down,
 the lower part is raised up,
 the part that has too much is reduced,
 the part that has too little is increased."

- Tao Te Ching, 77, A new translation by Victor H. Mair

Wow Lee...she's really pretty. Nice patterns in her head and feathers. And those predator eyes look like she's already probing the area for any unsuspecting critters. Glad ya got a lil more energy lately and take your time with the hickory. Im in no hurry to see my...I mean "your" wood now become a bow. Maybe next time im back up home and we have time we can take her out to hunt. Id love to see that.  ;D

Oh and thanks for the comments too  ;)

I'd look forward to another visit Chris...slowly getting on top of this Lyme crap.  Headed to my original specialist in 2 weeks so hopefully well get some answers,plans in place to get me back on my feet again.  I have been holding of on the Hic...don't want to mess it up  :o but I'll get to it shortly.  I have any osage on the vise right now (will be MY deer bow0 since I gave that sweet, short Osage (with added snake skins) to my brother this weekend....he was stunned and LOVES it.

This Goshawk, Aravis, will consume a lot of time and focus but she'll be well worth when we are backing 3-4 Cts and 2-3 ducks per outing :)

It was a cool visit...wish I was functioning at 100%, would have been WAY more productive but I still had a blast meeting you and your family bro...
