Those are very special bows. You can pick them up and fling a few arrows with your lost friends. I have a special bow like that to. Always feels good to shoot that one.

That really is a beautiful bow Jeff and nice thought and gesture. I love the tip overlays and the rest of the bow as well.

Not a thing wrong with that one!

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

It's a thing of beauty. Fred obviously meant a lot to you and your work reflects that.  :)

Thank you all for the kind words.  I never met Fred in person, or even talked with him on the phone--like most of the people here.  I did learn from him, but very little about bow building. This is a great place, and one where I didn't expect to fit in or be accepted. You can probably tell that my building style takes a little from a whole bunch of people  posting here--I try to learn from everyone.  So, thanks for the help.
