Every bow I make is my favorite. I usually build a new one or two each year to hunt with and usually one of them will be my favorite for a while but as soon as I build another the pecking order changes again.  ::)

Glad you like it Eddie. Got one started with your name on it and it's even nicer than mine cause mine was just a prototype.
Thanks Cromm.

Hi,  Here are some photos of me and my current favorite.  It happens to be the first bow I ever made from a stave.  It didn't really turn out that well, but I recently took it out of the closet , retillered it and heat treat the belly.   Now I like it!(http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc270/May-Pumphrey/2009-01-18006.jpg)m/albums/cc270/May-Pumphrey/2009-01-18045.jpg[/IMG](http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc270/May-Pumphrey/2009-01-18025.jpg)

Black Locust (Robinie), 67 ntn, 44#@27" - better for my shoulder and more accurate:

One of my favorite bows is my hickory-backed lemonwood bow with walnut handle.  For me, it represents many design aspects that I've been trying to accomplish.  From the handle design to the tips and tiller, I felt I did most things right.

No pictures available at the moment, but there's some on my webpage if you search around (keyword: lemonwood). I wrote a PA article about it that has better pictures, so you can see it there.
